Android



Android is the 'other' handheld operating system, after iPhone. There aren't 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."


 * Android Market - Default "app store" that every 'droid phone should have
 * AppBrain - the app store that gamers tend to install on their smartphones

There are a total of 9 trusted Android-based emulating apps. Some are available at the SlideME marketplace, some are on the Android market!

On the android marketplace, look up a developer named "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 SlideME marketplace (google it) and search for a guy named "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. 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.

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.
