Older gaming experts might remeber this genoius game called “Ports of Call”. Ports of Call is a trading simulation developed in 1987 originally made by Aegis Interactive Software. In the beginning you buy a ship, which you will need to transport goods and gain money. With the earned money you can buy better ships and the whole game adds up more and more.

Here are a few more details from the author:

Ports of Call DS is now in beta testing and most of the bugs are ironed out. I still have a very irritating bug to hammer out. This one causes your ship to crash in a harbor when a few very special conditions are met. I am now able to reproduce the bug and thats 90% of solving it.

Monolith Android is a 3D tetris like game for the android mobile phone platform. The code is based on the SDK samples of the Android SDK. The intent is to create a fun to play game, and familiarize with the rich API of the android platform. The game uses openGL ES to render the graphics. As well as the classic tetris-like gameplay, the game provides additional game modes, “Dizzy” and “Monolith”. The Monolith name derives from the fact that the matrix that the game is played in, looks a bit like a monolith from the film “2001 a Space Odyssey”.
