It shows:

Monkey Island 1
Space Quest 1
Dune
Lord of the Rings
Railroad Tycoon
Wing Commander
Elite Plus
Prince of Persia

running in 256 color (MCGA) mode under PocketDOS.

Hmmm...

I've got 16 bit color games already, plus SCUMM plays plenty. I'll stick with games designed for PocketPC or specifically ported than trying to run clunky DOS on a tiny screen just to play an outdated game with horrible controls when it debuted on the desktop!

I just got wolf for the gba. It's a good game, but I feel as though they could have improved going through doors a bit. Many are in small, narrow places that require very good allignment to go through. Maybe they could have rounded the corners and let you slide through them.
