Ok so this is gunna sound crazy but let's keep the hate at a minimum. I have an iPad for school and music creation but I thought I'd try an experiment of using an app to access my desktop remotely to play games.
Of course, this type of software can be hella laggy, so any type of real time game would look jank as hell. I do think, however, that old games that didn't require timing or quick button presses would actually work fine. Games where you don't have direct control over the character, but rather pointed and click at the character/units instead.
I'm gunna try out Fallout, Fallout 2, and Civilization IV, but my question to the GB community is what other games would fit my description of being slow and turn based?
I spend a fair bit of time at my girlfriend's place but my computer is a desktop, stuck at home. If I could remotely access these old games, albeit at low fps with delay, I think it could still be fun. Also, this is an excuse for me to go back and play a bunch of old games that I never had the chance to try out (ie: early Fallout series).
What else would you recommend? I suppose adventure games like Monkey Island would work well, though those are already available on the app store...
hmm, I guess I could give Grim Fandango a shot..
