Whenever I get a new Windows Mobile phone, I always head to sites such as Handango or Handster to see what I have been missing since my last visit. And the truth is, I am not missing much… When you see the games coming out for the iPhone, it is easy to be a bit disappointed at the lack of innovation and quality in Windows Mobile games.
So I have had a really good look through, and have picked out seven games (not all of them new) which are compatible with the HTC Touch HD, ideally make good use of the 800×480 (WVGA) screen resolution, are useable without needing hardware keys, are innovative, and playable. Some of the games will only work at VGA resolution (eg. 640×480), but will work without problems, or will work if you run a program such as WVGAFIX beforehand. All are available from Handango.
Here’s the list…
htc touch hd compatible games
Atomic Cannon – buy here
Visit the developer’s website to see their other Pocket PC games (will be having a look at Machines of War soon).
Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: War of Two Cities
Meltdown
Platform game, excellent hi resolution graphics, get a trial or buy from here: Meltdown (PocketPC) (ignore the compatibility warning, it does work…)
Nine Hole Golf
Will run in WVGA, but looks better if you run WVGAFIX first to prevent graphics being stretched. Buy or try here: OmniGSoft – 3D Nine Hole Golf
Obulis
Innovative puzzle game
Runs fine in WVGA but with white bar at the bottom of the screen.
Buy or trial at Handango.
Resco Bubbles
g-sensor (accelerometer) controlled.
Buy or trial here: Resco Bubbles

Virtual pool mobile is so sweet. I play it all the time on my G1.
I totally agree with you. I wish there were more developers who would make use of the accelerometer. I envy some of the cool games for the iPhone.
poison_ivy’s last blog post.. LG Arena KM900
no link for virtual pool??
oops, i’ll get a link to virtual pool on there in the next couple of days. Just need to find the cheapest place for people to buy it.
I installed ‘Real Football Manager 2009′, which was shown as being compatible with the HTC HD on the Gameloft site. Only to find that I only had 40% game functionality. What a disapointment after enjoying this game on my HTC Tilt for so long. I though I would have enhanced graphics and playabilty….. NOT TO BE.
Wait for next release I suppose.
Thanks for the list, some of these games are really awesome. Especially the g-sensor games from Resco!
