I must be the only retard on planet earth who played the junky ""smartphone"" ports of Worms Reloaded and Final Fantasy I on the LG306G. It was one of those cheap generic touchscreen phones you get through prepaid phone providers like TracFone. It ran on JAVA. The absolute most vapor-of-ware ports ever. The most LOST of media. I challenge ANYONE to find an image of what I am talking about. Because I certainly can't.

Dude, those Java games are easy as hell to find. There's a dedicated Java emulation scene that's devoted to backing up all of that stuff, which is super easy since .jar files are so tiny. A quick Google search brought up multiple links for Worms Reloaded, which I would've loved to have on my Java phone back in 2013.
>>
>>734982337
DUDE I LOVED THIS GAME. It was like one of the first pc games I can distinctly remember playing and actually finishing.
I played it like front to back 100% like 10 times when I was a kid. The spooky mansion levels were absolutely my favorite. I loved acquiring 100% of the levels cause the goals were always so clear and aside from the time trials the levels werent that difficult.

I think it's pretty good. I have a 3080ti so I'm not just playing it because my computer sucks or anything, I think it's a relatively good jrpg despite being made in rpgmaker. Sometimes the plot gets a little cheesy, but that tends to happen when you have an amateur project with a bit of sincerity.

Probably not, because some dumbphones were not ergonomic enough for prolonged gaming sessions.

Premise is interesting, characters are varied and entertaining. I like the combat design in theory, but many fights can end your life with zero counterplay if they feel like it. I'm told this improves later, but frustration with unresistible unique ailments and fatal double taps led me to drop it for a few months.
Similar hardware to the other anon.

It's a weird platformer with the only notable thing about it is psychodelic graphics with rendered photos, otherwise it's pretty bad all around.

This is probably my all time favorite game, the one I always go back to
It's the same concept as Elite but it's top down 2D like Asteroids or Galaga
It was released exclusively for the Apple Macintosh 68k
By 2001 I had set up a Macintosh emulator image for myself
There was a shitty sequel available for Windows
The guy who made it launched a Kickstarter a few years back to remaster and port it
He raised $38,000, then he died
