Hi, I literally found an old SD card with files last modified from 2005 with a few palm games from then, would anyone find these useful for reverse engineering?

This README is begging for historical context and commentary.

Interestingly he removed some of his clones (Mario brothers and others) on the request of Nintendo. Maybe his clones were too close to the real thing.

Let me just get my Palm Pilot out so I can play...

does anyone else encounter github failing to load dark theme on first load, but working fine after page reload?

Yeah Aaron is a PalmOS legend.

I really liked the palmos c libs, MemCopy and WinCopyBitmap just reads so much nicer than memcpy and memset. Also UInt8 and UInt16:)

Those were fun times, when 16bit ints were enough for everyone (just kiding;)

I loved my palm pilots so much!

There was also a version of Lemmings on the HP48 calculator: <https://www.hpcalc.org/details/530> (incidentally by the same author as Alpha Waves, a.k.a. Continuum)

This is awesome, I wish I had it for my Treo.

I love and miss PalmOS. My current iPhone I can’t wait to get rid of it. It’s half owned by other companies, phoning home in the background all the time, addictive. My Palm devices really felt like mine.

Palm OS, not PalmOS.

Let's not forget nor confuse history.

I never quite got into Lemmings (Worms was more my thing) but I love these pieces of software for limited hardware of the day such as Palm, Windows CE, or Newton.

Edit// Oh this guys profile is full of cool Palm OS stuff.

aaron also did the Deity3D engine for palmos that was a FPS doom-like. I think the engine was later used for Master Thief 3D which was an incredible game for PalmOS.
