N900 Gaming
The N900 makes a great gaming device. It has a TV Out, Accelerometers, and hardware support for 3D graphics.
Nice Video showing what can be done with 3D and TV out Click Here
There is a range of options to get games on your device.
Native Games
The N900 supports hardware accelerated 3D OpenGL ES. Expect a full range of games! There are also dozens of games available in the Maemo 5 repository.
- 3d graphics engines
- Bounce Evolution for N900
- Maemo 5 Downloads
- OS2008 games - most of these games should be portable to the N900
- Chess - there are a variety of chess games available, including:
- Miniature - a networked, community-developed chess program, designed for Maemo - coming soon
Flash Games
As the N900 supports Flash 9 and has a hardware keyboard, many flash games should just work
