The Nintendo DS on its own is a fantastic gaming systems. But add to your Nintendo DS the actual R4 DS Card and you’ll have access to hundreds, if not thousands, of homebrew games and applications – all of them free.
1) Lemmings DS – THE Classic strategy and mind game is back. Strategy, comedy and awesome gameplay!
Lemmings was truly a trend setting game and probably set the stage for many of todays puzzle / strategy games.It was later remade for the Commodore C64 and IBM PC’s too. I honestly think this game set the stage for many of todays classic strategy / brain games.All of the original 120+ levels that could be found on the Amiga version of the game, remade for the NDS. So you essentially get every single level that was originally designed and made for the Amiga system, and the c64 too.A must have game for anyone that loves funny, classic style games.
2) Quake DS – The original FPS!
It’s the original Quake that was released for PC.No need to say any more. Probably THE game that started the First person shooter genre.It is now available for the NDS / NDSi but you’ll need an R4 DS Card to play it with.Carefully and precisely remade for the NDS and NDSi Console.
3) Xrick – A Port of Rick Dangerous for your Nintendo DS – It was arguably one of the best platform games / side scrollers on classic computers like the C64 and the Commodore Amiga
Another one of those classic games that you just can’t seem to get out of your system.One of the absolute best platform side scrollers of all time. You just have to put xRick on your R4 DS Card and start playing it right away.Rick Dangerous was one of the most popular, and most famous of the side scrolling games of it’s time. Anyone that didn’t own a Nintendo DS, had either one, or both, of these games as an alternative.Side Scrolling Advanture game truly taken to the max. Challenging, great graphics, and loads of fun!
4) DSLinux – This puts a portable Linux Computer in your pocket by way of your Nintendo DS
Ah yes, the ever populat and sought after DS Linux. Before cards like the R4 DS Card, it was unimaginable for us to be able to load linux onto a system that fit in the palm of our hands.While there are several ports of this even for linux and differend game systems, you can’t really truly enjoy it that way you can with an R4 DS in your NDS because of the amazing touch game play. Because you can use your Stylus as mouse, you really get the full benefit of loading all of your favorite linux games, applications, etc… On the Nintendo DSi console. The R4 DS Card makes it possible to take linux to a whole new platform. If you have a Nintendo DSi, then you’ll need the R4i SDHC version of the R4 DS Card.
5) ScummVM – Your point and click game emulator for classic P&C games!
If you’re a fan, past or present, of point and click adventure games such as Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel Sky, and others, then you must have ScummVM DS. ScummVM DS is a part of the ScummVM project. The ScummVM project is an attempt to re-engineer many classic point and click adventure games of the 80s and 90s to run on modern computer hardware. Technology has changed a lot since these games were written, and so ScummVM attempts to replicate the gameplay of the original games in exacting details, without any of the original code that the game ran on. With ScummVM you will need to have a copy of the original game, luckily these can often times be found on abonware sites on line. ScummVM was written and coded in a manner that quickly and easily allows it to be ported from one operation system / machine to the next.
That’s all for this week – for now.Next week I will talk about and introduce you to a whole slew of emulators for older computer and console systems, all of which can be played on your NDS with the R4 DS Card
