Well, it is not free, and doesn't have great graphics, but for $12 you get about 65 different games. Here is Kyle's Quest Classic Again, not great graphics, but Angband CE is free. Win Hack is a port of the PC RPG NetHack and it is also free, but doesn't have great graphics, but not bad, either. Hope this helps.

If you like old school RPG's you could download Pocket Nester which is a NES emulator, then d/l some roms. Final Fantasy I, II, III, Dragon Warrior, etc... These are not offically free, however, if you do not own the game it is illegal to d/l the rom. But who am I to judge

Do a search in this forum for pocket nester. For the ROMS do a search for NES ROMS in Google.

Ahhhh, thanks for reminding me Mike. There is also PocketSNES Bleeding Edge which allows you to play SNES games. I am playing FF4 right now, and it is not slow enough to be annoying.

SNES?????

I tried one of the SNES emulators and it ran at about 2-6 FPS. Is there one out there that actually works? In the meantime, I'm having MUCH fun playing FF1 and FF3 NES ROM's. This is SO friggin neat.
You do not know me but if you ask, you will.

Episode 2 is released.
Well, the link I gave in the above post is the SNES emulator that I am using. I am playing Final Fantasy 4 and when walking around I get about 30 fps and when fighting I get about 7 fps. It is not bad at all.

FF4 drops to about 15 fps for me but thats still too slow to tolerate. I've been playing Dragon Warrior 2 on nes emulator

Been trying to play Dragon's Breed, but still have no clue how to play it since the maker has yet to release instructions and the game is quite complicated(it's a turn based war strategy rpg, sorta like Heros of M&M). but seems ot have potential

I have both Kyle's Quest Classic and Kyle's Quest 2. There aren't alot of levels available for KQ2 yet, but Kyle is sponsoring a Level developers' fund to try to up interest in it.

I highly recommend Dragon's Bane II -- a lot like Bard's Tale. Also give Nuclear Time a try -- post nuclear rpg.

PocketSNES

Thanks for the link to PocketSNES Raynne!!!

I tried it out and got chrono trigger working right away. Unfortunately I havent quite figured out how to exit the program ... had to reset for lack of any other option. How does one exit it?
