Introducing the touchscreen friendly game section

Posted on 12 November 2008 by



I’d like to take a moment to introduce a series of posts that I will be doing over the coming months. First let me say that I am an avid gamer. Gaming has been a hobby of mine since I was a young lad and it continues to be a fulfilling activity for me. I have experience across several different gaming platforms but the Xbox 360 consumes the majority of my gaming time at this point.

Before I get to off-topic, allow me to explain this series of related posts that I plan on doing: During my travels across the vast sea that we like to call the internets, I occasionally stumble across an enjoyable game that works well with touchscreen computers. Considering the topic of UMPC Portal, I trust that many of you have a computer with touch screen input (for those of you that don’t, just follow jkk. I’m sure he’ll have a guide on how to mod a touch screen onto your netbook!). Most often the games that I will highlight will be simple flash games that weren’t designed with touch screen input in mind, however they still function well with a touchscreen enabled computer.

My point here of course, is that I would like to share these games with you as I come across them. The games that I highlight will most often be simple flash games that weren’t designed with touch screen input in mind, however they still function well with a touchscreen enabled computer.  So, if you enjoy the occasional casual game, and see a post here with the following in brackets "[touchscreen friendly game]" in the title, have a read and hopefully you find an enjoyable (usually free) game that works well with your touchscreen enabled computer.

Please feel free to drop a line in the comment section if you already know of any good games that work well with a touchscreen!

    If you want to test out your touchscreen this is the game you want. There’s a basic version of what the deluxe version is based on and it can be found in the link below.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I saw Crayon Physics a while ago, fun game. The developer has been working on the full version for what seems like FOREVER, but the last I heard he was trying to release it before this year ends.

    I’ll take a look at Numpty Physics as well.
