I have had N900 for couple of years now but haven't played games with it. Is there anyone really into games that would like to guide a bit?

I'm mainly trying to find Super Mario kind of games, where you jump and collect and bump on some creatures, flying in tunnels games, driving a car, shooting games (like the dug shooting game I found in HAM) without blood, or games like Rambo, Bruce Lee, Who Dares Wins and Commando.

So I don't need good graphics and don't like long story kind of games. Just something simple to play with while on a bus or a train, something with easy keyboard control.

I know there are free dos games a lot, so dosbox could be possible, but I haven't played with any emulators with linux so I have hesitated to start (what to download and where and how to install etc.).

If anyone like to help I would appreciate. if not I may succeed on this by myself but it will be in the future some day when I have enough brain capacity to try to learn new stuff again.

Yours,
Maemish.

if you can still find the deb-ified webos games they give you a modern mobile phone game experience, at least the ones which do not require multitouch; though I think there was a workaround even for htat.
Muppen64 lets you play lower power Nintendo64 roms I had Mario64 run great and is well suited especially if you find a game-gripper attachment somewhere; if you search thingiverse I even gave a feeble attempt to 3D design & print a FOSS game gripper like thing.
Mupen64 does almost all of the work for you except finding or extracting the rom files from old game carts.
There is a NES emulator if you want to play super maro brothers.

All those games are classic C64 games,
There is Frodo C64 emulator on Nokia 9500(symbianS80 phone), but I wondering what happened for Frodo C64 on Maemo:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=5764

Those games was also available for MSX and there is even two emulators for Maemo:
- fMSX: you can easily install it with Application Manager.
I have tested only with programming MSX-Basic.
- OpenMSX: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83502
I haven't tested it yet.

There is also Atari ST emulator:
http://eerott.mbnet.fi/hatari/hatari-n900.shtml
and even .deb packed games for it:
http://eerott.mbnet.fi/hatari/games.shtml
I have written instructions for application use (not for games) instructions might help also monochrome (ST High) game users:

list for some monochrome games:

@Teroyk: checked the Hatari page. There is very good documentation how to set it up and make gmaes playable. It is just that I am lacking (still after using linux over ten years) some basic knowledge of making directories and extracting files to right places etc. so even though the instruction are good I don't have enough knowledge to be able to follow them without getting too much anxiety and stress (which I have to avoid at the moment).

I have now watched many "100 dos games in ten mnutes" youtube videos and made lists of what seems good. Maybe I try to hunt those down and then try to get them running on dosbox.

Bounce Evolution would be nice to find
It is included in the ovi repository. Hence you could find it on archive.org

bounce_1.0.1_armel.deb

Tried to download games from Aapo's site but could not. The most awesome would be to find a pinball for N900. Or couple different. That I could play ages.

I really liked brainparty and also had a lot of fun with offscreen app Airport. Atleast it's something called like that.

As mentioned earlier, Angry birds and level pack 1-4 was good aswell.
Dont forget: Frogatto, see my sig.

And last but not least, my hidden gem: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/vexed/
