Yeah, pretty much.

LCS exists for Android, theres Pixel Dungeon and a few roguelike collections (Nethack, Angband, Angband Variants and Roguelike Classics, but I dont really like them that much for some reason.).
Apart from that there really isn't much worth playing. I toy around with powder games every now and then (I have like 4 installed).
Input is sort of a problem, because most people dont have a keyboard for their tablet.

There are plenty of emulators for 8 and 16 bit hand-held devices and consoles on 'droid, if accessing good retro games is your sorta thing. I know it is mine...

I have a good GBA emulator, but I can't think of any games to really play on it. All I've really done so far is Megaman X and then added cheat codes randomly until the game started to break.

Fire Emblem.  If that doesn't hold your interest, I have no idea what will.

Advance Wars 2, Golden Sun, Harvest Moon, Rebelstar, some Shining Soul games are good, Tactics Ogre, any Zelda game.

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga.

Pokemon Saphire/Ruby/Emerald.

Past that, everything else has been recommended

Tried going out to town again. Under the pretense of buying some things, but I really wanted some human contact.

I just, I just have no clue how people have lives or are social or how they keep themselves fulfilled or happy. It's just a goddamned mystery to me.

I'm seconding Tactics Ogre.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Tactics ogre is fucking incredible.

[ChairmanPoo]

Watched The Desolation of Smaug. It sucked. All too many special effect failures, poor acting, they ruined Smaug as a character by making him little more than a randomly twitching reptilian Sinistar.

To top it all, the second most important orc villain... well, how to put this tactfully...

I dunno, I think Smaug was the only good part of the movie.

[Graknorke]

I have a feeling I should reread The Hobbit. Because I don't remember Smaug being too... significant a character. He's found, woken up, then reportedly terrorises people then gets shot and dies. I can't imagine how you'd make a film out of that.

Y'know, I never got very far, but I like Final Fantasy Tactics (the playstation one) way better.

Speaking of GBA and Final Fantasy, the old FF Legend games for the original GB were pretty sweet, too.

[Frumple]

Also not really final fantasy games, ha. Not many of the "FF" gameboy games that were released as such in the US (E: And I guess europe. [joking]Did they even release games to europe back then?[/joking]), well... were, exactly. Legends were the first SaGa games, Adventure was the first Seiken Densetsu (Secret of Mana). Stuff like that.

And incidentally, just to be sure folks are aware, the GBA Tactics Ogre is... very different. From the rest (SNES/PSX/PSP) of them. Still pretty decent, but arguably a worse game.

I personally put FFT and TO (either the SNES or PSX version... PSP's arguably better than either, but comes a lot later) about on the same level. FFT's a bit nicer gameplay wise (which is understandable, since TO was/is an SNES game, and FFT was built for the PSX), but they're both solid and running pretty neat stories (for video games, anyway). Good stuff. The fact that TO gives FFT a good run for its money speaks incredibly well for it, since it was built a good generation behind in terms of hardware.
