The Fun! Factory: Games

Please note that most of the games written specifically for the 100LX and 200LX are not listed here. You can find information on them, as well as download them, at S.U.P.E.R. If you wish to view only the games category, just click here!

Any game titles in red indicate that I was unable to get the game to run on the palmtop. Don't forget that any information you have is of value - see the Submit page for more details!

Electrobody
Info		A platformer from Germany, this game is a little slow-moving and requires the relatively massive sum of 580 kb of memory to run if you want sound (480 Kb if not). Nevertheless, it is a fun diversion and certainly not your average palmtop game! Before running the game for the first time, run Install.exe to choose whether to enable sound or not, and to make sure that the graphics option is set to CGA.
Screenshot		The character you play is strangely reminiscent of Robo Cop!

Elite
Info		This is the seminal space classic, where you are a lone figure with a feeble spacecraft starting off in the decidely unfriendly vastness of space. To be successful, you must learn the art of profitable trading and, more importantly, fighting. The ultimate aim of the game is to progress through the ranks to become an "Elite". For its time, Elite was regarded as a masterstroke of programming, fitting as it did many hundreds of star systems into a tiny amount of memory. The depth of this game remains virtually unparalleled even to this day and, despite an initially steep learning curve, is an amazing piece of software.
Status		Previously commercial software, now freely available by Ian Bell (homepage, Elite homepage) and David Braben (homepage)
Runs on 95LX?		No, although there is a text version available which may work (if anyone can verify this one way or the other, please let me know). You may wish to download this for the 100/200 LX also.
Download		You can download the game from the Elite homepage file archives - the version of the game which runs on the LX is PC Elite (cracked) (49 Kb).
Thanks to Bruce Martin for letting me know about this game!

Encounter
Info		My apologies to the author if he's reading, but this is little more than a sub-par Space Invaders clone. It's unresponsive, and isn't helped by the limitations of the palmtop's screen. There are better games of this genre available.

Runs on 95LX?		No

Evolution
Info		A unique and fun little game, the object being to "evolve" from an amoeba to a human, a feat accomplished by completing various levels which offer differing gameplay each time. It runs fine on the palmtop, apart from needing the use of a slow-down utility.
Status		Commercial software, by Sydney Development Corporation (programmed by Jeff Sember and Don Mattrick)
Runs on 95LX?		No

Eye of the Beholder 1
Info		In this game you will fight creatures in the catacombs, with a subjective "3D" view. It can run on the 200LX! Amazing! Just the fact that I could not connect a mouse complicated the thing (if you know how to have a mouse on the 200LX, tell me). So you'll have to find out the keys to control your crew of adventurers through the first big role-playing action game.

Runs on 95LX?		No
Thanks to Luigi for this information!
