Games that work on the UMPC

Portable computers are usually not the best devices to play games but owners still like to get jiggy with it from time to time.  The Origami Project team has done some very informal testing to see which games work and don’t work on the Origami platform and have posted the list for all to see. 

Games that work:

  • Microsoft Links 2001
  • Microsoft Zoo Tycoon 2
  • Baldur’s Gate II:  The Collection (Shadows of Amn & Thorne of Bhaal)
  • Madden NFL 06 with Bonus!
  • Sims 2
  • World of EA Sports 04 – Golf
  • World of EA Sports 04 – NBA

Games that don’t:

  • Microsoft Age of Empires II: Gold Edition
  • Microsoft Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection
  • Bungie Halo: Combat Evolved
  • Microsoft Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna
  • Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi
  • Half Life 2
  • Tony Hawk’s Underground 2
  • World of EA Sports 04 – NHL
  • World of EA Sports 04 – Nascar
  • Worms 4 Mayhem

Note there are many factors to gameplay on devices like the Origami so your mileage may vary with your particular hardware.  Also note that since Origamis lack an optical drive you might need some sort of virtual drive program to load the game onto the hard disk.  If anyone has information to share about games that either work or not add them to the comments so others might save a little time.
