they were basically just games made with java so you should be able to play them on pc no problem?
>>
>>738496346
Most of them sucked, but we still had fun anyway. Part of the fun was trading these games via bluetooth to find out if a game someone had on their phone would work on mine and vice versa.

>>
>>738496657
They were made with a different version of java called java me, so they won't run on the standard jvm, though there are emulators that can run them.

i played some garbage port of sonic 2 and that's about it. honestly i think i bought and downloaded it just to see how/when i was charged.
the music looped in a really shitty janky fashion and it was borderline unplayable.

no wait i had final fantasy 1 as well. yeesh.

Devs back then were demaking current gen console games to run on machines meant for calling and texting. But now that phones have the computing power of a mid spec PC, they don't make mobile ports anymore.

I remember playing a witch game and she had an umbrella or something, i forgot what it was called
>>
>>738497282
your brother sounds based

>>738497282
Then you got your own phone and hacked it?
>>
>>738497282
Implying this story is real, what are the odds that romhack can still be found somewhere in the web?
>>
signs that you're playing peak
their games are better than today's mobile games
>>
>>738497615
I was actually doing research into the game just now and found it the game is Tomb Raider Underworld, tentacles and all just like I remembered
I'll see if I can find that romhack but I don't even know where to start looking, never been into java games scene since I was a kid
>>
>>738497164
It honestly doesn't look that bad either. It kinda looks like a GBA licensed game.

I didn't get my own phone until android became mainstream
I did hack it and "bought" infinite lives and cash shop stuff in a lot of shitty games

Gameloft was on a hot streak in the 2000s with their java games, guaranteed kino if you got your hands on one of those

Assassins Creed was my favorite.
I had to fight the final boss (al mualim?) that warps around and goes invisible until I light up a torch on the wall

Yup, it's Kino. Mobile gaming peaked here.

If you ran that game on a jme emulator you could spiritually connect with your older brother by gooning to the same thing he gooned to.

There was another one where you had to eat smaller fish while avoiding sharks

pure kino.
I remember playing shitty cut version for cheap nokias and then I found 1mb heavy version for top tier phones. It was 5 times longer than what I played before. Had good mechanics too, I remember wasting weeks trying to record every zombie on camera using that female character.
Too bad sequel sucked, it was weird knock off resident evil 5 that lacked everything that made first game great

Gameloft's Nights serries. Miami, Paris, Vegas, New York. There was also a spin off where you become superstar on reality show
>>
now here's another gem. This game was fully 3D and you play as little robot that can stun enemies and posses them to survive and interact with the environment. Basically 2 different ways of playing and the scenarios you go through made it even more fun

You're right though, the limitations of the hardware pushed devs to limits. I believe there's no scene so underrated as those mobile games, there's a lot of gems lost to time. Completely forgotten unfortunately. We need to go back
