So, what you're looking for are emulators.

There are a few in Java out there, someone just needs to modify the source to take advantage of the features in Android/Hardware.

I would like to see the Infocom interpreter and ScummVM running on Android (I have ScummVM running on the iPhone so I can FINALLY finish Monkey Island 2 which I bought like 10 years ago in the LucasArts Archives Vol. III)

There's a thread or two about bringing ScummVM to Java/Android, but since that would spread the code so far from the official maintained code base, they frown upon supporting it, but since the source code is there, they offer anyone to try. I did see some talk on AndDev about being able to write C/C++ stuff in Android and using a Cross Compiler, so that might be a better option.

I hope we can bring some great stuff in the near future to the Android platform. We'll see in the next few weeks.

I have been drooling at the thought of playing Super Mario Bros. 1 on my iphone. I didn't even think about the possibility of Sega. Man if I could have looked in a crystal ball 15 years ago while playing my Game Gear and seen my grown up self still playing game gear but in a phone with mystical apps like gps and internet!

I know right! Imagine what phones will do 15 years from now! they we will be playing xbox 360 on online with amazing graphics.hahaha

I would love SCUMM on the G1!! Think about how perfect the trackball would be as a mouse emulator. I ran into trouble sometime playing Fate of Atlantis on the iPhone because you can't always be as precise as you need to be with your finger.

To all you devs out there - I will happily donate to anyone thinking of taking this on! There is still something so fun about those classics. No many how many times I have beaten Sam and Max Hit the Road I'm always up to playing it again every year or so.

*sigh* I can imagine replaying all those awesome RPGs that made up my childhood...now I want to play them all again =)

[So Real]

It would be nice to be able to play one of the older Zelda rpgs on my G1. I dont see why this wouldnt be possible though, emulators have been around for quite sometime

[JAWheat411]

I would say it is really possible.
As long as there are emuators for linux, it shouldn't be a problem.
