Space trader for palmos is the bomb! I spent way way too many hours playing that. .. I may have that on my current android phone using a palmos emulator. There’s also an actual android port of it too though. Did you ever get to play the leaked Elite 3D port for palmos? The dev couldn’t get rights for release so abandoned it. I cracked and released it after that. I was a beta tester. It’s a hoot. Works well. Even has a plug-in for the vibrator on the Palm M5xx series.

That's a good point about Android, I think I play the FDroid one or something like that. I never saw the Elite 3D you mentioned, sounds great. How was the color palette? Just curious if it was more monochrome or colorful. I was probably hitting the Cybiko Xtreme really hard at that time, having all but given up on gaming on my HP Jornada and finding some relief in the KayBee Toys clearance bin ;-) I do have a bunch of space trading games ready to go here for when the right time comes, and I like to leave the Elite Plus attract screen open in a DOSBox window sometimes...

  Always wanted a cybiko. Had a jornada 720! Great devices for the time. The game is very colorful. I loved it. Here’s the original website for it. http://www.harbaum.org/till/palm/elite/index.html http://www.harbaum.org/till/palm/elite/index.html And apparently he either released or something else a v1.0 with the source code and it is up here: https://palmdb.net/app/elite-palm https://palmdb.net/app/elite-palm I didn’t know this copy existed till a few minutes ago. I’ve only played the one I had which was a version 0.9.5 or 9.7 iirc. So now I’m curious to test this out.

    Oh that's pretty. Looks fun, thanks for sharing the links too. Amazing how far they took it on the platform, including Sony Clie multi-track audio!

You don't even need a native emulator! CloudpilotEmu works great, and runs in any modern browser. You'll need to supply your own ROM, but those aren't hard to come by these days. I did not get to play the 3d version. I'd love to try it out on my old TX, if you happen to know where a .prc might be found... ;)
