I'm sure you can ram some sort of emulator on it and then refer to lists of best games for some platform for which a full romset has magically spawned in your downloads...

...but natively, that is an intriguing query indeed.

@pavel gnome-sudoku (beware of its high addictive potential!)

Setting some wi8dgets in plasma-mobile. endless time of fun, tension and horror.

@ozzelot Yeah, well. Emacs is painful to run on a phone. I'd prefer not to control atari800 emulator using software keyboard :-).

@ozzelot Oh, and it would be great if we could go back to 1980, and create 6502-based machine with touchscreen. That would give us nice software to run on smartwatch and maybe even phones.

I wonder if Palm emulator would be fun to play with, and if it has enough interesting apps to be worth the effort.

SailfishOS has a decent port of Quake 2 — the controls were comfy enough for me to blaze through several levels. I'm pretty sure there is a port for "normal" linux as well.

@awai It starts, but quits after selecting difficulty. Guess I'm saved from the addiction! :-).

You can also run
(but it doesn't make *optimal* use of available screen estate).

also works (but you need to change the type of controls manually in the settings IIRC).
