Oldies you'd wish to be ported

Name your fav oldies you'd think that would best fit as a PPC game. Mine would definetly be:

Transport Tycoon
Syndicate
Burger-time

and that game where you're a bartender catching & throwing drinks down tables while the can-can was playing. (forgot the name) but the game rocked!

Ahh those were my best memories of dos gaming....

I wish they would port Tribes 2 to PPC(Physically impossible but, I can dream )
It's not as old as the DOS days but, That's what I would want to be ported.
Also Mechwarrior 2

Galaxian, It's ready to go but the company with the rights won't release to Pocket PC. Larry Bank of Microsoft's PAC-MAN and many other quality game ports as well as PQV did the conversion.

Played that. It gets old very quickly.

Another one I wouldn't mind seeing is the original doom or doom2. they aren't very graphic intensive, so they should run.

Doom was ported for MIPS based Cassiopeia (I used to play it on my E-125) Pocket PC's. I haven't seen an ARM based port.

Until these great games get ported I am running SummVM (still looking for roms of my legit owned games! I have all lucasarts games, I want to play DOTT on my axim!) I also have a NES emu, and 700 roms for that (I owned about 100 nes carts, so I play those games!) Also I have a gba emu - which I am waiting for the new version...

Emulation is so sad, because you could have awesome games on the axim, come ot think of it, what would be the most you would pay for a kick-ass game that really showed your axim off to the fullest?
Hold stick near centre of its length. Moisten pointed end in mouth. Insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum. Use gentle in-out motion.

Are there any emulators that can run older PC games, like lucasarts Jedi Knight, dark forces II and such?
