Age of empires Gold edition not working right on the Treo 750 - Treo Forum

Gravesent · 06-02-2009, 02:23 AM

I used to have a pocket pc, with the standard 240 x 320 resolution, I have some games for it that I would now like to play again on my Treo 750.

Problem is, they don't fit, Age of Empires Gold is "compressed" to fit inside the square screen but when I press on something with my stylus another area responds, I can't even enter my serial number... is there a way to convince it to run in 240x240... that would go for other games as well. I'd hate to have to buy others.

E-mail the developer and see if they can get you a free copy to your new device or even a prorated copy. I doubt it since they must make their money to stay afloat but its worth a try.

How do you like Age of Empires on the Windows Mobile? Should I give it a go?

Age of Empires Gold edition is almost identical to it's PC counterpart, graphics and sounds are identical and it's easy to play on a pocket pc.

I think you can get a demo here: Age Of Empires (Pocket PC) - Download

I saw some screen shots of AoE 3 for the Trep 750 and it doesn't look half as good, although I haven't even been able to find a demo.

Too bad... it seems gaming is not for the Treo 750, unfortunately at this time I don't know of any better pocket pc phone so I'll just have to play solitaire

HTC Touch Pro is a lot slower and I don't care about the GPS, I saw video reviews of the Treo Pro and it seems to be a bit faster but still not as fast as the 750, not to mention it also shares the square screen, convenient for everything but gaming and videos.

the res is higher than my pro runs a lot zippier than the 750. It would be nice if the gsm unlocked could be bumped up to the specs of the sprint treo pro.
