These Sega titles are loads of fun with great gameplay, high-res color graphics, and sound effects for a PDA. The games are almost exact replicas of the original titles on Sega's Game Boy-like Game Gear (in fact, I believe they are ports using an emulator), then they will bring back some fond memories if you were a Game Gear fan. Even if you didn't play these on a Game Gear, these games are top notch for a PDA.

The games are:
Sonic the Hedgehog: original high-speed platform game
Shinobi: decent side scrolling fighting game
Super Columns: great Tetris-like puzzle game
Shining Force II: The Sword of Hajya: a role-playing game (adventure game kind of like Dungeons and Dragons but with more colorful characters)

If you have a Palm OS 5 device (like a Zire 71, Tungsten C, or Tungsten T) and like games, this is a must have. Note that this card does not work on Sony OS 5 devices, which use Memory Stick.

Who could imagine that my Palm could be so much fun! What was once my calendar and date book has now become a replacement for my GameBoy - thanks to the Sega Classics card. These games are just like the originals on GameGear. I recommend this product highly. It really helps time fly while waiting around airports.

I just got this item as a birthday present and went to play and the games load up just fine but I have no left or right controls. The packaging says "Palm OS 5.0 or higher" but it must be wrong. I tried to get on the company website and see if there was a troubleshooting section because the instructions are useless but the website doesn't exist. Don't buy this unless you have one of the three models of PDA listed.

For some reason, the game controls dont work on my Tungsten. Would have been cool - but since there is no support for the game, I guess it will have to get returned.

What a waste of money! Yes it will load. It has great graphics. But you can't control the games. Instructions are almost worthless. They are written as if you are using a joy stick.

I originally had a Tungsten-T, but would soon be upgrading to the LifeDrive. My fault for not doing enough google searching. Runs "well enough" on the Tungsten, but Sonic doesn't really refresh fast enough to get much value out of it. However, none of the games would launch on my new LifeDrive. The downloaded demo of Shining Force runs, but there is no "left" or "right" to be had on the directional pad. Only "up" and "down", which doesn't really help anyone.

Great product at a great price, arrived in a timely manner! Good Job!

This looked really fun, and the requirements said a palm os 5 device with an sd/mmc slot, but unfortunately, it didn't work on my treo 600 handheld. Each application would say "Error loading ARM code" when invoked. Also, it appears you need to cart the card around with you because you can't copy the applications onto your handheld, they have to stay on the card. :(
