Hello,

Is there a way to play Age of Empires, Commandos, or any of these strategy games on the nokia n900?

of course there is but it probably isn't what you expect from it.

this is one possibility: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol

There is but nothing playable at a decent speed. AoE is closed source all the way unless someone ported it to Linux somehow and even then its a maybe.

Command and Conquer Red Alert which has a Linux port doesn't work properly for example.

You'll have to look at some open source alternatives. 0 A.D. is an open source game that is similar to Age of Empires, but it's far from finished and I'm guessing it could be very hard to get to work on the N900. It's gorgeous though
