Apart from M&M 6 (Mandate of Heavens), all of those games run thanks to DosBox. Turns out that with a tablet, mouse movement is absolute and not relative. libSDL which drive DosBox cannot cope with absolute movement, so you will not be able to play in fullscreen on your tablet. Even if you resize your screen to sort of match that of the game, it barely works. In short, M&M 1-5 cannot be played on a tablet. M&M 6 can.


I have played this game very shortly a few years ago and it seemed so familiar. That's when I remembered that I played a virtually identical game called 'One' on an old console (Amstrad 6128 - check Wikipedia for details). The premise, objectives and methods are identical. Only difference is the graphics and maybe this game has an ending, which One didn't (as far as I know).
