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.

Flash Games

As the N900 supports Flash 9 and has a hardware keyboard, many flash games should just work

Great thread discussing the options Click Here
