Quote from: "zapiy"What's the remote display software?
It's Microsofts own software that when used with Active Sync (connect your Giz to your PC with USB cable) it displays the Gizmondo display on your computer screen, but the screen update isn't fast enough for video, but the images on my site were all taken through this software.

When I was in Aldershot for Video Game Carnival last weekend I visited Kart Klub as usual and was surprised to see that they had about 15 odd mint and boxed Gizmondo game in the display cabinet!  :o

Quote from: "tomwaits"I really like P.O.D. on the Gizmondo: POD: Point Of Destruction on Gizmondo

It's a trippy descendant of Targ, Millipede, and Space Invaders. If you like arcade classics, it's worth getting a cheap system just to play that game...

^ This!

P.O.D. Point Of Destruction is pure retro gaming goodness. A fabulous little game.

I just found about this game today, the unreleased Colors for the Gizmondo. It's basically a 3D Grand Theft Auto style game and looks incredible, I can't believe this was never released - it would  have been a real system seller:

Yeah Colors was in development as long as the Gizmondo was! It's a good game, albeit slightly cut down from what they were gonna do, the GPRS multiplayer and GPS parts were cut due to Tiger Telematics going under, but it has big maps and great graphics, I have a review on my site of what I thought of it.
As you say, it's a shame as this next batch of games from Colors onwards would have made people sit up and notice it more.
