Retro game: Skooter

no comments

Just dug up the old MSX and found the Skooter game, which was about the only one we had some 20 years ago. Here it is in a remake for Windows:

Now I just want it for my phone. :)

The phone is a computer

It does of course come as no surprise, but the mobile phones like N80 is a small computer. Not a phone with a camera, or a camera-phone with Java-support, but a full-fledged computer, albeit with a somewhat small screen and keyboard.

So what’s more natural than having a file explorer and task manager installed?

Y_Browser is a file manager for Symbian S60.

While Tasky is “yet another task manager for the Symbian OS”.

Also useful, is Petteri Muilu’s Auto key lock for N80 which does not have this feature built in.

Yesterday it was an SSH client for my mobile. Today? How about a public transport guide for all major cities of the world? Or maybe a bar code scanner for 2D bar codes (See also Tommi’s S60 blog)?

I just installed putty SSH on my Nokia N80. And I can now log in to my home computer over SSH from ANYWHERE. Is that cool or what? :D

putty for Symbian is available as open source, for free, here:
