Downloaded free games can be a great way to spend a few spare minutes at work, or pass the time while you're waiting for a friend. From Sonic to Bejeweled, you'll find free addictive and amusing ways to spend your spare time on your new PDA.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Find your source for free games. There are many websites that exclusively offer free games for PDAs. If you don't find what you're looking for at these, try fee-based download sites, which may allow you to download free trial versions of games.
Step2
Browse the free game selection and follow their instructions to download the game files you've selected. You may be required to register to download your free games.
Step3
Decompress the files if necessary. Depending on your source for free games, your files may come in a compressed format. In this case, you'll need an archive program to decompress them.
Step4
Add the files to your PDA. In some types, the file transfer requires a "hot sync." For others, you simply connect your device to the computer and drag and drop the files onto your device.
Step5
Run the game on your PDA to see if it works. If it doesn't, check to see that all needed files were transferred correctly, and that the files are not corrupted.

Tips & Warnings

  • When downloading games always make sure that the game supports your PDA's operating system, memory and model. While some games will work on non-supported systems, most will not.
