The Handcase, Brazilian developer of games and software for Palm, released Hand-e, a software that emulates the PalmOS for games on the PC.

Several freeware games are offered to be played in the Hand-e. The Hand-e is free, only full version games have to be paid for. The motivation was the impending end of the PalmOS

Players can download the free emulator, the ROM developed by Handcase and freeware games to play. One way to test before you even buy the games. The games are mostly casual, but also include board, strategy, logic, brain games, cards and dices.

The emulator runs on computers of all types, ie it doesn’t require extra features like a lot of memory, just Windows. Users of Palm and of course everyone. "Now it does not matter if PalmOS is over, we keep the flame alive," said Ricardo Garay, CEO of Handcase.
