Palm touts its gaming roots, Pre conspicuously missing
Posted in: game, Games, gaming, palm, Today's Chili
Hey, Palm, you know when isn’t a good time to brag about your rich, time-honored tradition of gaming software stretching back some ten-plus years? Right before the release of webOS and the Pre, a device you’ve straight-up told us isn’t intended for games — that’s when. A lighthearted post on Palm’s official blog today waxes poetic about the top Palm OS game downloads on Handango and mentions a few favorite classics from around the blogosphere, but here’s the thing: unless Palm wants to get serious about bringing entertainment to the Pre, this just rubs salt in our TurboGrafx-16 emulator-craving wounds. The TI-sourced OMAP3430 underneath the Pre’s skin is more than capable of knocking console-quality games out of the park, so we’ll just have to twiddle our thumbs for a few months and see how this plays out; at the end of the day, it might simply be a question of how open Palm ultimately wants to get with its SDK.
