GAME
The Gist: At Last, A Killer Palm-based Adventure
$29.95
For years I've been waiting for a decent game for a Palm OS-based organizer (I have a long commute). Now, I finally have the distraction I was looking for. Basylonia, a fantasy adventure, will cost you a hefty 710 Kbytes on your PDA - 1,690 if you're lucky enough to own a color machine - but it's space well spent.
The game is set in the engrossing world of Basylonia, a whopping 20,480 screens large. You fight monsters while trying to find pieces of the Gammadion ring, which you'll eventually use to confront a bad guy named Illuyankas. Meanwhile, you visit towns, talk to villagers, buy weapons, and recover from battles.
Defeating Illuyankas will save Basylonia. It'll also use up a truckload of AAA batteries, possibly end your marriage, and definitely ruin your eyesight. But I've played so many bad Palm-based games I don't mind making sacrifices for a good one.
