OK. I've tested Future Wars on a Linux PC. I think the only addition needed for the game to be playable on internet tablets is to add a way to press F10.
The game requires left mouse button for movement (stylus taps work just fine), right mouse button for action menu but ESC and F9 work too, that's why the round arrow key on 770/N800 works already. If the menu key was mapped to F10, saving and restoring a game would be possible. While saving the game asks for a savegame name. Any characters would do, like is done with SCUMM games (AAA..., BBB...). Left mouse button is enough to enter the name and save, so the enter key is not necessary.
EDIT: An empty name appears to be just fine for a savegame, so mapping F10 is the only necessary change.

I think AGI engine in scummvm supports some predefined list of words and maybe can pop up this list somehow but don't know details and perhaps this won't solve everything

* Future Wars - add mapping for left/up/down/right,zoom +/-
* fix SDL backend to set mouse position also on button down event as sometimes we may not have mousemove events with touchscreen

Finally installed it... Day Of The Tentacle, Sam & Max.. At last.. Oh boy.. It has been so long time since I played those games.. 
Futurewars asks question before it starts and I cant answer Larry age question at all.. But Nostalgy feeling is amazing..
Too bad it wont support Adventures of Willy Beamish..
