Warning for hp 39g+ users
The hp 39g+ has a different chip to the HP39G and HP40G. This chip is much faster and this makes a lot of the games almost unplayable. With time the authors may bring out new versions but so far this has not happened. Additionally, some games make direct calls to processes on the chip and these calls sometimes don't work on the new calculators. This can cause your calculator to lock up or reset, possibly with loss of stored data. It is highly unlikely that any physical damage will result.
One of the game fans sent me the following report on what he found when he tested some of them on his hp 39g+. Thanks to Francis Gongz for this help.
A lot of the games don't work, including hp-worms 1.0 beta, games launcher, zelda (zelda seems to work but everything starts to fade to nothing), bang2, and space hulk. The ones that DID work were snake and bomber-hp. Also the graphics demos don't work. These games didn't erase my calculator but there was one thing that did - the ticking clock library on the Miscellaneous page. This made my calculator go funny only when I typed in CLK in the home view. None of these games gave problems during the transfer, only when they were started.
