Post games that are very hard to get or gone.

Phone games were a scam, occasionally they'd be alright, but overall they were a scam where you paid out the ass for a shockwave browser game tier experience. You were better off bringing your gameboy with you, there wasn't much reason for this besides "Oops, forgot my gameboy, but I have my cell, hehe".
Still a shame a lot are lost though.

I remember my first mobile game back in the mid 2000s was a port of Rayman. The only one I ever really got into was a Diablo clone, I forget what it was called. Thought it was Fate but I can't find any evidence it was ever ported to mobile so maybe it was something else. I miss early phone games since they weren't infested with ads yet.

My experience with phone games was always "Well shit, I don't have my GBA/DS with me" or "I just want a simple time waster, let me do shit on my cell phone", and then just the action of even playing games that supposedly came with your phone gave your family a phone bill that they'd bitch at you about later in the month. Zoomers don't know how good they have it, where you could just browse the web anywhere and watch slop and not have your parents grill your ass about it later as long as you're under limit if you're a poorfag.

I had a leisure suit larry pinball game that was okay. A lot of the big japanese IP had surprisingly good Japan only releases, it's not a complete wasteland.

Phone game: Japan always seemed to be the exception for whatever reason, like western devs generally didn't give a shit and considered it easy money for java dev.

>>12865781
Lmao yeah my mom yelled at me bunch for accidentally raising her phone bill. It was so easy to go over data caps. When our family finally got smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S3s) going on YouTube would rape our data cap of 1GB. Good times.

God, my first cable internet plan had a 10gb cap, it'd slow down to 56k after that, my dad would scream his lungs out at me when it'd go over every month.

I remember the playing the first level online. Also is Nikki an actually milf.

I didn't get a smart phone until 2020 and before that only had a tracfone for a few years, so i have zero nostalgia for phone games besides a friend showing me a shitty metal slug port on his flip phone once. There are a few that i am curious about, like all the metal slug stuff and i seem to recall magazine ads for sidescroller Ratchet & Clank and God of War for flip phones.

2020 is such an absurdly long time to wait to get a smarthphone, god bless anon. I got a flatscreen really late, I think I was rocking a crt until like, 2010?

Only reason i got one at all was because it was forced upon me by my mother as a gift. Phone company wanted to rip out the old land line to replace it and i didn't want them coming inside my house to do it, so i just stuck with my tracfone, but then it started getting spotty reception where i had to leave my house to make or receive a call and my mother got tired of dealing with that shit when trying to contact me and got me a samsung phone, which is still same one im using now and will keep using until its completely unusable. I do miss how on my tracfone my computer monitor would begin buzzing before my phone actually received the call, so i would no beforehand when someone was about to call me.

I just played that game a few weeks ago

There are still some sites where you can download java games
>>
>>12865754
The best phone games were the Doom and Wolfenstein RPGs
>>
>>12865756
There are plenty of high effort java games. Maybe you just sucked at downloading the good ones online for free.
>>
>>12865754
literally first result on google https://mobile.phoneky.com/games/?id=j4j30548

I know you. Didn't you say in an earlier post that you now just use your smartphone for internet because you refused to let the phone company in to install fibre? Are you agoraphobic or somethin'?
