The PalmPilot was a revolutionary personal digital assistant (PDA) released in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Designed for managing contacts, calendars, and notes, it became a favorite of tech enthusiasts for its portability, handwriting recognition, and early mobile games. In many ways, it was the first glimpse at the modern smartphone—just without the phone.
I used to play with my dad’s PalmPilot all the time, and I recently found it in a storage unit. What do you know—after 20 years, it still had battery left! I turned it on and knew right away that I wanted to use it for a computer simulation. Palm Cracker is the result!

Fühlt sich an wie ein Taschenrechner mit Rätseln, aber ohne erkennbare Richtung. Ich wusste nie, was das Spiel von mir will. Für mich zu wirr und ohne klaren Zweck.

Хорошая игра, чтобы получить базу по криптографии.
Jeu sympa et intéressent.
A neat little game that teaches you basic cryptography. It's narrative light despite the framing but I found it pretty neat.
it's quite good and neat game. very interest. As a fan of Palm, like +

喜欢解谜的有福了,打个游戏还能学到密码相关的知识
Fun free game with easy puzzles. But definitely a good intro to some simple ciphers and their deciphering techniques.
