| Test app: Caliva compliance test | See the posts from "Magenta" in microsoft.public.pocketpc newsgroup around 04/26/2006 | Failed - never got past the loading screen | n/t | n/t | +; x51v | n/t |
| Test movie: Unilever Gamekiller One Upper movie | A video file to check the video playing speed/compliance of individual apps | Definitely slower than MM7 on the same hardware; while the latter "only" drops frames, this has also very choppy sound on the PL720. About as bad as MM6 on the iPAQ 3660. | -; white screen only | See MM7 | +; tolerable; many dropped frames though | - |
| Test games: Bomberman In the land of the Pumpkin V3 | Cursor keys to move + Del to drop bomb. Some example screenshots here, here and here. | Works, but useless because bombs can’t be dropped (SIP/external keyboard doesn’t work, only D-pad) | Works, pretty playable (with "Del" on SIP) | n/t | + | Nothing happens after clicking 1 Player" |
| Curveball | Nice 3D-like game | Works, playable, but pretty slow | Works, but uselessly slow | n/t | + (very good on 2210/x51v, a bit slower on PL720 and much slower on the HTC Wizard) | n/t |
| Gold Miner | - | Works but intolerably slow | Works but intolerably slow | n/t | + | -: game loads, but the actual game is skipped |
| Heli Attack 3 | A/D/S/W + tap on screen to set the bomb orientation. Requires MM7. | Starts, but the entire screen is oversized - unplayable | - (doesn’t even load - just a white screen) | Starts, but the entire screen is oversized; after that, it complains about the lack of MM7 | + | n/t |
| Interactive Buddy | - | n/t | Only shows a gray screen | +; very slow | + | n/t |
| Johnny Rocketfingers | Taps only. I really recommend this highly entertaining "adventure" game; what is more, it’s compatible with all players, even with MM4 and Pocket Spark! | +, perfectly playable, albeit animations are played a bit slow, with the sound stuttering | + | + | + | + |
| Kill at Will | Taps only; only recommended for | Uselessly slow after you shoot; oversized chars | - (doesn’t even load - just a white screen) | Always very slow, not just after shooting | Uselessly slow after you shoot | - (doesn’t even load - just a white screen) |
| Kitten Cannon | Up/down + space | Useless - SIP/D-pad arrow keys don’t work | - (doesn’t even load - just a white screen) | + (assuming space works on the SIP or is redefined) | + | -(doesn’t even load - just a white screen) |
| Mini Golf | - | n/t | Works, but very slow | n/t | + | n/t |
| Penguin Throw | Taps and tap-hold only; make sure you disable the Flash menu if possible to get rid of the menu after tap-and-holding | n/t | - (doesn’t even load - just a white screen) | Very slow | Slow on PL720; OK on 2210 | n/t |
| Playing With Fire | Bomberman clone; ‘;’ drops bombs for player 1 | n/t | - (doesn’t even load - just a white screen) | Very-very slow | Starts, but very slow - even on the 2210/x51v | n/t |
| Tanks | It has a lot of stuff in the upper region of the screen that can’t be read without zooming in / using true VGA resolution | In true VGA, it’s displayed OK but not playable | +; very slow; controls not readable in fit-to-screen mode and full screen isn’t scrollable | + | Strangely, it’s only MM6 and only under PPC2k2 that runs the game without serious problems; with MM6 on WM2003+ or with MM7 (which isn’t PPC2k2-compliant any more) it doesn’t work (aborting the script - the only way to go on - will render the game unplayable) | n/t |
| Tower Blaster | - | Too slow to be entertaining | Works but really slow | + | + | -: the game loads, the intro animation (with the changing) plays but the actual game wouldn’t start |
