Mercenary BBS - Are you serious?

Lease this WebApp and get rid of the ads.

Do you really want the MDDClone author to port his program to a device made in 1997, with a monochrome screen, a 68000-based processor and 512 KB of RAM? Maybe you just meant a Palm smartphone, but if the smartphone marketshare pie chart on Wikipedia (see

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b5/Smartphone_share_current.png

) is to be believed, the Palm smartphones form less than 1% of the market.
I'd suggest to develop for Symbian smartphones, because the same chart shows they are the most diffused.

2011 - The year of the mobile version? — The MDDClone Author, Fri Jan 14 18:45

Happy New Year! Folks, it's been a few years since I looked at this. I apologize, real life has got in the way a bit. Now I'm back with cycles to spare on this. In fact, when I brushed the dust off... more

  It's now officially 2012 and no mobile version has come out. :-(

  How's the iOS version coming along?

    Did the MDDClone author ever say he chose iOS to develop a mobile version?

  Another vote here for Android - not entirely for the selfish reason that I just got a new Android-powered phone! I'm planning on learning the Android platform over the next couple of months and have... more

  I SO don't wanna get into a flamewar, but anyone who develops for Android is a FOOL. Have you seen iOS's numbers lately? And with Android, there's no "App Store", as such. Talk to any Android dev.... more

    The MDDClone is a free simulation of the original payware Mercenary, Damocles, and Dion Crisis games; without very special dispensation from Paul Woakes - or unless the MDDClone author *is* Paul... more

      ... putting the "make more money with iOS" motive aside for a moment, how about this .... With iOS, an MDD Clone will reach a MUCH larger -- and, more importantly, a much more *receptive* -- audience ... more

        Is there a glut of shovelware & garbage in the AppStore? Absolutely. As Steve Jobs himself says: "We have enough fart apps, thank you." But apparently this hasn't stopped titans of the gaming... more

        1) I don't believe that the Ipad represents a serious danger to the Xbox 360 and the PS3 (the "present" of gaming), even with comparable graphical capabilities. An Xbox 360 is 280 €; a PS3 is 308 €;... more

      Symbian may be most used in the smartphone market, but how many Symbian users go grabbing apps off their equivalent to the App Store? I would suggest Android as a starting point because it's an open... more
