I'd love to see a port of Sonic Robo Blast 2! Awesome 3D open source Sonic game built off Doom 2, that has a huge community of wadders and etc.

Sonic Robo Blast 2 looks awesome. I really hope that does get ported

Take a look at this game. I've started exploring the open source game community, and this game stuck out as one I wanted on the Pandora.
http://icculus.org/neverball/
I think mapping the table tilt to one of the analogue sticks would work pretty well. Any thoughts about the game? Any programmers want to comment on whether or not this is possible? The main site mentions a need for hardware OpenGL, which the pandora has, and a 500 MHz processor, though that quote is for x86, not ARM. It's already ported to Linux, though, so my thoughts are that this game is ready to be brought to the Pandora.
Now we just need a coder....

I just tried it out, and I have to say, I really don't like the physics of it. It accelerates too much. They should take a look at switchball, and use those physics (amazing BTW, sucks it uses direct x)

Even though neverball's ball is a bit fast, it is a very good game. There are many many levels and Pandora's thumb controls should work well for the game.
Neverball is as close to certain for a port as any game you could imagine for Pandora. Looking forward to playing it.

It looks like that neverball is already ported to ES.

just tested Sonic Robo Blast 2. It's awesome! I even prefer it to things like sonic adventure on dreamcast - the feeling is plain more Sonic.
Didn't know something like this existed, but now I researched, got the code from their svn (it's gpl and and the source is also inside the .exe in their download-section) and compiled on linux without problems. There seem to be some pandora fans in their community and as graphic-acceleration is not really needed, there might be a chance of a quick port.
