Android Games not on Apple App Store

    Switched to Android after nearly 3 years of using an iPhone. One of the main downsides I've found so far, are that there are much fewer games available for Android. Most of my favourite games are iPhone only.

    So, to make me feel a little better about the change, does anyone know any decent games that are available for Android and not on the iPhone?

    No need for root to use emulators...

    Obviously you can't download/buy the games themselves from Android Market but the emulators are available.

    Dont need to be rooted for the emulators but im not sure how many there are on the market anymore (I remember a few got taken down). If you search on appbrain.com it'll show them all. Once you have the roms (and bios which you can get from most emulation/rom sites) you're flying
