Anyone who knows where to find games as on the German ICE trains?
When traveling on the German high speed ICE trains, you have access to the ICEportal website with a.o. information on your journey and newspapers. The portal also gives you some stuff to waste time on, which includes games. What I love about it, its a collection of simple classics, such as a bubble shooter, a 2048 style puzzle, an arcade motorbike game, and all without the typical freemium advertising or grinding.
Does anyone know about similar offerings? I really don't mind paying, I do mind the advertising or grinding which seems to have become standard. Or even better, if anyone knows how to have the ICEportal games without being on the wifi of the train? What are your thoughts?
It may not be what you're looking for, but on Android (via the F-Droid secondary app store) there's an app called Puzzles, by Simon Tatham. It has about 20ish simple games that scratch my itch for time-filler, along with Solitaire.
These are also available via the standard Google Play store. They have no ads at all and are very well made also available via the app store if someone is using iOS, with the same quality; just free, not freemium. They are also available from the website if you just want to play in a browser.
I already know about that one, and enjoy it a lot! As everyone is saying: highly recommended.
Yes, I very much enjoyed this app, and would definitely recommend it. Great variety and has a lot of lesser-known puzzle types too. In addition, each puzzle also has a lot of settings for you to fiddle with.
Clubhouse games was one of my most played games on the DS years ago. I didn't realize they had made a switch version. I know what I'm doing later.
I think there might be a screenshot here:
If you're okay with emulation there are probably GameBoy Advance games that fit. If you had every GBA rom it would take about 9 GB, but obviously you would reduce that
There are game preservation projects that collect classic games and typically provide them for free. For example Flashpoint Archive with 1760 GiB of Flash games (https://flashpointarchive.org/), or Kahvibreak with Java2 phone games (https://bluemaxima.org/kahvibreak/), or ExoWin3x with Windows 3.x collection (https://www.retro-exo.com/win3x_M.html).

Vector pinball and pixel dungeon (or any of the forks) are both good totally free games.
