anybody know of a glinx game for PC

ztodd377 · 01-19-04, 02:25 PM

I'm looking for a version of the PC game "Glinx" for my Axim X3. The game Glinx can be found at http://get.games.yahoo.com/proddesc?gamekey=glinx
I've looked at pocketgamer.org, freewareppc.com, and pocketgear.com. Any help is greatly appreciated since I'm addicted to this game on my PC, and would like to take it with me.

I know Astraware has done Glinx for Palm devices, but not for PPC. Have you tried Atomica? At a glance it looks very similar to Glinx. Here is a link to the Atomica game page.

I think the gems suite of games from PDAMill has the game
you are talking about, but I only took a quick glance at the
game you mentioned. I'm referring to the following one:

Gems is available at: http://www.pdamill.com/prod_gg.shtml .

You can find a review at http://pdagold.com/articles/detail.asp?a=109.

I picked this game up as part of the excellent PDAMill bundle that
is still available - 30$ for all five of PDAMill's games (Anthelion,
Snails, Gems, Solitaire and their Classics game pack). Probably
my best bang for buck yet, with Warfare Incorporated starting to
come close in gameplay value. You can read about the special at:
http://www.pdamill.com/special.shtml.

Just a happy customer.

I am quite addicted to Glinx myself, and have been unable to find a PPC version.

Cheryl, Glinx is pretty different from Atomica. With Glinx, no more gems pop up on the screen, you just have to connect them to make them disappear without having any left over, and you get points for the length of chains you create.

I think I'm gonna try the gems suite that aximx5user suggested above. I'll let you know how it goes, and if there is any part of it that is like Glinx. Thanks for everyones help.

Well duh! I reviewed PDA Mills' Gamebox Gems not that long ago. How does Ruby Connection compare to Glinx?

Ruby connection, though not as complex as Glinx, is very similar. It's the same concept, and same style. And for only 10bucks for gems, it was worth it to be able to take it with me.

The games in Gems are really not too bad, either

. I enjoy playing them.

I don't remember the name of it, but my favorite is the one where the gems drop and you have to form groups of 3.
