Though we hate to think of the Nintendo DS as a system overrun with ports of old games, we won't raise any arguments when those ports consist of PC classics. Homebrew developer Beathwho has started work on bringing over a DS version of Warlords, one of the finest turn-based strategy titles to hit home computers in the early 90s. If you've played Puzzle Quest, then you're already familiar with the series' fantasy world of Etheria.With Infinite Interactive already planning a commercial release of Warlords 2 for the DS, we can't imagine that they'd be too happy seeing games from their franchise put out for free. Still, it's great to see someone deliver these old favorites to our handhelds. Now all we need are ports of X-Com and Civilization!

I worked for a while on a port of Alpha Centauri (actually not a port as I was building the whole thing from scratch), but the lack of RAM on the system made it far too difficult. It wouldn't be too hard to salvage a working version of Civilization from what I had already, but I really don't have the time. Maybe in the summer

Well, the DS needs Warlords II, and Civ. I heard they are working on both, no?

What the DS really needs is a port of any of the Heroes of Might & Magic series. Seriously. 1, 2, or 3. I'm not picky. Whatever's easiest.
Until Civ (or preferrably Civ2) comes to DS, Age of Empires is definitely the cart to beat for turn-based strategy games... still.
