Android has NetHack:

awesome. Added. This thread is expanding my own wishlist.

I know it's not a re-release, but it should be noted that ScummVM lets you drop in a whole ton of adventure games. That's what I did with my GOG-acquired copy of Fate of Atlantis, and it's a spectacular way to enjoy those games.

this is a good point, though I was trying to shy away from listing emulators/etc and just focusing on Android specific ports.

True. Did they ever port over the Monkey Island games, or did those stay on iOS?

Sadly...they were delisted from iOS.

apparently the Grim Fandango Remaster is on Android though.

I got some more for ya...

Broken Sword 1 (and 2)
SoulCalibur 1 (DC port I believe.)
DOOM 1 and DOOM 2 (bundled on NVidia Shield only with DOOM3 BFG Edition
Carmageddon
Re-Volt (another DC title)
Commander Keen (as Commander Genius was ported)
Namco Arcade (it's like the atari one you listed)
Dragon's Lair
Dragon's Lair II
Space Ace
Half-Life 2

The 7th Guest (also same guys ported Simon the Sorcerer and Flight of the Amazon Queen)

Team17's 90s classics of Worms 2, 3, and 4 are on Android as is Alien Breed (it's like Alien meets Gauntlet.)

I hope this is a welcome expansion of your list. If there's one thing Android is good for is a wider variety of goodies than Apple will ever offer, because even if something gets jerked offline (licensing shenanigans) you can throw an APK at the wall and make it stick without an apple headache jailbreak.

I wasn't sure if I should count the Nvidia Shield specific releases. My understanding is that stuff like Doom 3 BFG Edition and Half-Life 2 can only run on Shield devices. So I wasn't sure if I should really include them in a general Android games list or not. (Thoughts?)

But lots of good additions - thank you.

EDIT: Namco Arcade doesn't come up for me on Google Play store.
