Hi!
I suggest you to choose Android SDK, maybe it can help you.

Regards

@merlin,

Whilst that would work, that is a serous amount of software to install, if it's only to allow game playing.
I would be easier to install the Android VM in Virtualbox...

First from the Menu on LL type Lite, then select Lite Software,
then select Virtualbox from the list to Install Virtualbox.

Then take a look at the "many" guides to: "Install Android Virtualbox"

That will work, it is actually quite easy, some of the text and screen shot type how to's are easier to follow.
I recommend you use 2048MB for memory and make the disk(vdi) 8GB, more like a up-to-date Android device.

I gave it 2048MB memory and 8GB disk, just like you said. I have a problem I got stuck at "Do you want to install boot loader GRUB?" I entered yes and then nothing happens.
