I've ported xBill to the DS. Fun little time waster game.

Edit: oops, forgot this: linky

Heh, you have to do some investigating, can't make it too easy. You could find his site by looking at his previous posts but I just remembered Dopefish from his ROTT port. It's on his site: http://vespenegas.com/dsbill.html

I thought it was running at a low framerate but then I tried the Windows version and it's not much smoother. I also learnt that the error message is a feature. This is one of those games that would be more fun to port than to play.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Note that the original version is designed to play with a mouse. Playing with a touchscreen makes it quite a bit easier (and it starts off slow anyway). You'll want to start around level 20 (at least) to get much enjoyment out of it.

There's actually a port of xBill in DSLinux but it's very slow and doesn't fit the screen properly. It's called nxBill, it should be on the Games screen of PIXIL
