I (significantly) restored Palm/HP's webOS services, include the SDK, (partial) App Catalog, and a variety of proxied, re-created back-end services to keep devices like the Palm Pre and HP Touchpad functional: https://www.webosarchive.org

Now we just need a compatibility/emulator for mobile devices. When I had a touchpad, I kept it dual booted exclusively to the ability to play Tower Wars, since there wasn't (and still isn't, afaik) any similar games around. Basically you got cards on each turn for upgrading your walls or castle, or for attacking your enemy's walls or castle, with the objective of destroying your enemy's Castle before they destroyed yours.

Its not the same thing, but I do have HP's emulator image updated for modern machines: https://www.webosarchive.org/docs/emulator/

Cool! Brings back memories...
