Wow! Very cool-looking! I too hope for VGA. Even the Missile Command-esque part looks like fun to me. And I hate Missile Command.

This game probably has the prettiest graphics I've seen on the Pocket PC. And so addictive!

I started this thread quite some time ago (early March). Those details weren't there then.

I was almost excited and wanted to buy... I think the prettiest graphics I have seen is that PVRacer or something. That is amazing. ALMOST, ALMOST to par with PSP, well, not really, but to a few people I've showed they thought so.

He meant the game doesn't make use of the VGA resolution (that is, it's low-res).

A tip: Listen to the music of the great space shooter game Enslave without having to start the game!

NOTICE: this article also contains some information on .mod players for the Pocket PC – that is, not only on Enslave itself!

It was just a few days ago that Enslave, the great, new space shooter game has been released.

The game, in addition to being a really great space shooter game, also has really great music. The music files can be found in the music subdirectrory of the game (which can be found, if you install it to the main memory, at \Program Files\Enslave or \Program Files\Enslave Demo with the full/demo version, respectively.

These files are simple MOD module files and can be played in any mod-capable multimedia players. That is, if you would like to listen to the music of the game without having to run it, just rename the contents of this directory (or just the individual file you want to listen to – the filenames speak for themselves) to '.mod'.

On Windows desktops, you can use for example WinAMP to play these mod files. Note that the Pocket PC version of the player, WinAMPAQ, as of the current, v1.0 Beta build 0509 version, doesn't support mod files.

As far as other Pocket PC players are concerned, unfortunately, TCPMP, the best all-in-one multimedia player, doesn't support playing MOD files either. Picard, author of TCPMP, has been promising addig MOD support for quite some time, though; this means the player may get MOD playing capabilities some time. (To find out more, enter for 'MikMod' in the TCPMP forum search engine.

Therefore, I recommend the free JT MOD Player 1.0. Unfortunately, it's not able to find files in arbitrary diretories by default; that is, you'll need to copy the MOD files you'd like to listen to to either the root or the \My Documents directory of your storage card(s) (depending on whether they have the file ignore_my_docs) or to \My Documents (or one of its subdirectories) in the main storage.

It should also be pointed out that JT MOD Player doesn't consume much battery power and can even run in the background on a to 208 MHz underclocked PDA. As can be seen in this screenshot, it causes little battery load in both power saving (about 130 mA) and automatic (about 140 mA) CPU mode. (See this article for more information on what this means.)

Finally, the openness of the music files means you can even swap in your favourite .mod files if you find the music that comes with Enslave bad.

Note that the same stands for the music of TapzMania, the excellent multiplayer title with really nice music reviewed here. It's also in the linked review that I've explained where its music files can be found. That is, you can easily listen to the excellent music of TapzMania the same way as has been described here.

MilkyPlay is a very good and free mod player that plays the Enslave MOD files just fine.
