Rating: Summary: Don't waste your money Review: 1. Most of the programs don't work. They either hose the PDA (m505) forcing a reset, or, in the case of SimCity, just tell you that "This version of SimCity is unregistered. . The whole reason I bought this card was to get SimCity--the advertising never disclosed that all I got was an icon and a banner advertising a product that I had to purchase separately. 2. The card only uses 1.6M of the 16M card, but is write protected so you can't make use of the rest of it--or recycle the card when you realize what's on it is not worth the 1.6M it consumes. Your money is better spent buying a blank 16M card and downloading the same games for free. 3. I have been unable to find any support for the card. The Palm web site sends you to the web sites of the individual program suppliers.
Rating: Summary: Don't buy this unless you like to be outdated Review: Although the games on the card are good, most of the itmes on it, like Klondike and Slots are outdated. The games can not be moved off the card, and cannot be updated to the current version(s). You would be better off buying the games seperately.
Rating: Summary: What i found about this card Review: First i have to say that i don't have this card, but i was thinking on buy one, what did stop me?, well first it says that have the game "zap 2016", that version of the game is only for 16 bits colored handhelds (i have a m500 handheld, as you know it is a grey, non colored handheld), after that i went to palm.com and try to find out a little more, and back there i saw all the games included on this card, i was dissapointed, it have really great games, like zap and simcity, but the others ones are not the kind of game i like the most, well, i also have to say that if you buy this card you will save money and you wont sacrifice any memory on your palm. Underneath it all it is a good product if you like casino's games, but be carefull, i didn't continue investigating about this card so i dont know if all the games will work on a non colored palm, maybe they will... or maybe not.
Rating: Summary: Just alright, no words of praise. Review: First, I would like to knock at least one star off of this review from Palm for making it so difficult to really see what games were actually on this card.Second, when I finally found out, I was a little disappointed, not by the quality of the games, but the quantity. Of all of the games, I play a couple regularly: Zap 2016 and Solitare. Come on Palm, I am sure that you could have rounded up a few more titles from the vast assortment of free and cheap Palm software to at least make the purchasers feel like they got something. After all, there was more room on the card.
Rating: Summary: Works Just Fine, Great Entertainment! Review: I am suprised by what the other reviews are saying especially about SimCity. They MUST have a bad card. I have had the card since Christmas 2001, and I have to say that it works in my M505 flawlessly! I admit I don't play the games all the time...but it does help pass time when waiting in long lines and when you are simply bored!
Rating: Summary: Great in the Middle of the Night Review: I am very pleased with the game card. The choices of games are basic, but I'm not a huge video game lover and easily entertained. I especially like Klondike (Classic Solitare) and Bubble. These are similar versions of the ones that come with windows on your desk top. I have trouble sleeping at night so I play the games on my palm in the dark so as not to disturb my husband. (Make sure to turn off the sounds!) It is also a great way to pass time while waiting for appointments, etc. I have not experienced any glitches. The card has functioned flawlessly.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: I am working on unlocking the solitaire and chess/checkers/backgammon. I have already tried resetting and exchanging the card. I hope to fix the problems but it has wasted a hell of a lot of my time. I would NOT recommend this to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Only One Good Game Review: I bought this card for SimCity and Zap!2016 alone. The other games were good, but not great. I ended up playing mainly Zap!2016, because the other games were just too boring. They could have put more exciting games on it. I just don't think it's worth the money for only one good game. Some people said Zap!2016 had some bugs in it. I haven't noticed any. I recommend buying just Zap!2016 itself from the Palm Software Connection. You'll save some money and free up the expansion card slot.
Rating: Summary: good way to pass the time Review: I brought this card a year back, when i wanted something to do on a long international flight. Its a good time killer. The card (I think) was wasted as they could have included more games. The card is a 16mb card with only 1.6mb used. They could have atleast made the rest read/write so that it could be used as extra memory. SimCity has been the game I have played the most. Zap2016 is also fun to play, the card games are good to kill some time. Try it with the sound off when you are at a boring meeting or lecture.
Rating: Summary: Not enough bang for your buck!! Review: I had high hopes for the card and the games that were on it. I was disappointed to say the least. If the price was 1/4 of what it is, I'd say buy it. I give it a thumbs down until then for those thinking of buying it.
