Android



Google's Android used to be the "other" handheld operating system, trailing after Apple's iOS; but, as of late 2012, its market share has risen to 75% of all new smartphones and 41% of all new tablets. Now, there are still not as many games for the Android as iPhone, because (a) people who buy Apple have proven they got more money to blow, (b) asshole phone companies lock their phones to their exclusive app stores, and make devs jump through hoops to get in, and (c) there's more variety of hardware that runs Android (i.e.: more than two), so testing is a bitch. Jailbreaking an Android smartphone is called "rooting."


 * Google Play Store - Default "app store" that every 'droid phone should have
 * AppBrain - The app store that gamers tend to install on their smartphones
 * SlideME marketplace - Download emulation apps from here

Some emulation apps are available at the SlideME marketplace, some are on the Google Play Store!

Free Games
If a game is free to install, but pay-for-play, it goes in the other list. If the game has a free version or demo that's good enough you'd play it without ever buying the full version, it goes here.

Paid Games
Stuff that you pay to download, or subscribe to play online.

Emulators
On the Google Play Store, head to the page for [https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Robert+Broglia#?t=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDEsImNvbS5leHBsdXNhbHBoYS5HYmNFbXUiXQ.. Robert Broglia]. Buy his line of emulating apps. They're fast, reliable, and very authentic to the original systems.

For the rest of the good stuff, download the apps by Yongzh. You'll notice that some of his apps emulate the exact same systems that some Robert apps emulate. I'm telling you this to save you dosh, don't buy the mirror Yongzh apps. Robert is a faster developer and he likes talking to customers first hand in you throw him an e-mail. Anyways, buy all the other Yongzh apps. With that, you will have all the best apps this /v/irgin could find after months of wasting money and looking around. Also, did I mention that there's no rooting required for these apps to work? Just install and play!

Play the games of yesteryear directly on your phone!

Note: Snes9x EX is free and pretty much kicks the ass of Snesoid.
