Iridis alpha, you fools!

There's another game with two screens... but it escapes me.

I have a sneeky suspician that Speedball 2 would work a treat.
It already exists for GBA :P

Speedball 2 is rather good on GBA, but on DS it would be even better - wireless multiplayer and all that :D

Hmmm, yeah... Bit of natural mappage going on there between the two halves of the original display and the DS's two displays. Nice. :)

Starcraft or Total Annihilation or some other decent RTS. I'm not an RTS fanboy by any stretch but there's a great big gaping hole in the market there.

Pilotwings, Starfox - we just have to be patient.

Elite - maybe. The scanner on the bottom screen would be excellent. Darxide would work well too, if anyone's ever played that.

Iridis Alpha - yes please.

Wouldn't say no to a Championship Manager or Settlers of Catan game either. Hmm, how about a real RPG'er. Dungeon Master anyone?

That game is third on my list of "things to write for my DS". It doesn't look that hard to do. Need to finish my stupid website first - Vista will be out before I upload my new site ;) Coding PHP and CSS is so... zzzz...

I personally would like to see Simcity 2000 and Lemmings.

What I'd really really like is a firmware update that makes the DS work with WPA-PSK Wifi networks, and a small change so it works with all routers rather than a random selection.

Is it just me, or does anyone else try to tap the normal DS screen when playing Brain Training? Especially when playing Sudoku.

Good call! (Although Pokemon Ranger seems to work on a similar principle)

Duh - Ancipital of course, and Batalyx, reworked to new highs like GR++ was (oh, yeah, GR+++ too, please!) How long to run on your console-exclusivity Yak/Giles?

Civilization would work terrifically well, as would an update to the old Gold Box D+D games.
