New theme, Snesoid

Ok found a new theme, Android game and app reviews!

Let it begin.............

So a quick background, I have a HTC desire running android 2.1 eclair (want froyo already!!!!!), look up the specs if you want.

So the first game I wanna review is snesoid, Most people will either know what this game is, or have an idea, it naturally is in the title SNESoid, yes, its a super nintendo emulator, the most popular of all emulators currently on android, made by yongzh who makes an assload of other emulators for all the 16bit and lower nintendo and sega systems both console and handheld.

This is one of the first games I got for this phone, maybe I should stop calling it a game as an emulator is closer to a program I guess, but FU Im sticking with game. Like all emus this one needs ROMs, which are easy to find, TORRENTS!!!!!!! When you fire snesoid you just find the folder with your roms in and load it up, some of the default setting suck a bit of dick, like having the Dpad on the top left of the screen, I find this stupid both Dpad and buttons should be located on the bottom, you'll also want to enable transparency in the settings as many snes games use this. Thats about it, of course this and most games work better if you have a phone with a slide out keyboard which you can use as the gamepad, i.e. the motorola droid or galaxy s Pro, but Ive played a fair few games with just the touchscreen and you get used to it.

I've found the best games to play are rpgs like FF6 and chrono trigger, these games don't require as must action gameplay so they work good with the touchscreen. I've personally been playing through chrono trigger for a while, just playing a few hours here and there, wikid game.

The thing with snesoid and so many other emulators is that they posses many many great games, games that have stood the test of time and brought so much to the gaming world. They are also the games that most of the crappy native games on android and iphone try copy off. So look into emulators I say!!!!

Check out snesoid in the android market, plus many other great emulators by yongzh, there is also talk around the net that he is creating a n64 and Ps1 emualtor, WIN!!!!
