1942

It’s 1942. It’s one of history’s most popular scrolling games and now it dive bombs onto your Compaq iPaqTM Pocket PC. Climb aboard, strap in tight and take to the skies in this timeless vertical scrolling shooter to dodge enemy fire, execute loops and pick up an arsenal of devastating power-ups.

Note: Designed specifically for the ARM-based iPAQ H36xx series, so may not work on all devices. The package also includes a PC version of the game. Please note that the game is currently only available to customers from the US, Canada, Alaska and Hawaii.

3D Jack-Box

This game is basically a cross between a magician's dagger chest and a Jack-in-the-box. Optimal play requires two or more players to a machine where each player would take turns sticking a dagger into a 3D barrel until someone fires the trigger. This would make the "Jack" in the middle to pop out and the game ends. The purpose is to stick as many daggers in the box without upsetting the trigger. It is a fancy substitute for scissor-paper-rock, the coin toss, dice throwing, and what else to be used in situations where a loser needs to be picked solely through chance.

Astroblaster

Your base is being attacked by an alien force, and the only thing to protect you is a single gun turret. It takes skill to blast away the incoming wave of fighters. Be careful, they could slowly wear down your base's armor. Begin the game with a 3 shot maximum, but don't fret, your turret can be upgraded to double the power. If your gun is destroyed, you are built a new one with only a one shot blaster.

Bob is your mentor, encouraging you as you try to connect the pipes that drop from above. It's a crazy race against time to make as much connections as possible."

Conquer

Similar to Xonix, the idea in this game is to "conquer or fill up as much area as you can for each level. Once you fill up the target amount of area, you can move on to the next level. Each level is filled with a combination of different enemies and increasing target value. To help you through, there are items that can give you life, speed you up, or even provide you with a force field (plus more). You want to try to conquer as much area as you can at one time for maximum points!"
