NEw Mini-Bartop Touchscreen project
TalkingBull:
I put most if not all of the PopHouse and GameHouse games on it. I don't have a list but I can work on one.
IG-88:
If that wouldn't be too much trouble I'd appreciate it. Are those mostly puzzlers? I'll go and check them out.....
TalkingBull:
A lot of them are like bejeweled... you have to align like-items to have them drop off. We play Bookworm and Bookworm adventures the most... that and Windows Solitaire which works very well on a touchscreen.
Today, I installed an Xbox 360 controller and installed all the NES, GBA, SMS, GEN, T16, N64, A2600, & LYNX games and began playing those. But it is primarily a touchscreen system.

I would also be most interested in the games and where one can get them or search for. I have a 17" touchscreen that is begging for a project like this.
I'm also interested in bartop games like I see in bars today. "find the differences" in photos, smack the penguin, cards, stuff like that. A buddy of mine and I like to do the differences games.
TalkingBull:
I keep forgetting to put together a full list. I have only about 80 games on it at the moment but I had downloaded a good 600 that I haven't bothered to install. My family and I pretty much just play a few games on it so I don't mess with much but here is a list of some of the games that really work well on the touchscreen:
You can Google these but most of them are from Yahoo's game site and are either GameHouse or PopCap games
Bejeweled
Bejeweled 2
Bewitched
Around The World In 80 Days
Windows Solitaire
Bookworm
Bookworm Adventures (We play this the most)
Chuzzle
Gearz
Gearz 2
The Incredible Machine
Crazy Machines
Text Twist
Any Mahjong Game... I have about 10 on there
Any poker or card game.
Initially, I wanted to build a Merit Megatouch but I didn't want to pay for the hard drive or any of that such nonsense which is difficult to change. The games I have listed are very inexpensive to register and are easy to get and update. Using GameEx as a front end is also very easy when adding stuff and Tom Spiers (The guy who writes GameEx) recently updated for touchscreen support. I will try to get that full list on here soon... I just keep forgetting... in truth, any game that doesn't require a right-click to play it works very well. I installed a Logitech DiNovo Mini on both machines because it is small and sleek but also for games like Bejeweled that require a name to play them. It works well but I don't use it to play any games... I could though... but I prefer to use only the touchscreen for gaming.
