Counterclockwise: remembering the classic mobile games

10 March 2019
Snake was great, sure, and so was Space Impact. You probably remember Angry Birds, but do you remember Rovio's Bounce games?

Symbian was a fine OS once. Sadly it went from ahead of its time to outdated in a year or so. Software needs to change with time just like hardware.

      I really miss that monochrome era. Although it is not colorful, it is addicted much as the colorful one. And no worry about the battery drain.

        You know somethin?! The Phenomenal One himself yours truly loved to play on his LG Viewty KU990 back in the day. And you know what game that is?! Space Commando! If you have not played this on the LG Viewty, then you have not lived

          Oh my! So good to remember those days! Thanks for this kind of article once in a while, such a good read on a monday! Anyway, to answer your question, Space Impact (from the old 3310) still tops my list followed by bounce (Nokia 7250), then Bantumi (old 3310 - a little boring to some, though).

              No Tetris? That was a classic game even on crippled OS devices.

                Snake 2, Space Impact and Bounce for the win! Best mobile games ever made!

                  I remember bounce, space invasion and bounce tales but original bounce was my favorite and I never beat level 7 without cheat

                    ''Run run'' on alcatel one touch was also great.

                      I played Space Impact on my 3310 all the time trying to set a new high score, I was really good at it after some time. If I play this game again right now I suck big time.

                        Ahhh! The Snake Xenzia and Bounce on the old Nokia 53 series Xpress Music is a breath of fresh nostalgia! The good free old day

                          no mention of siemens s25 3d labirinth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK5UA9qABi0

                            Oh yeah! And a spaceship shmup game! That had me planted on the screen and I kinda wanna play that again. Game name, anyone? Pls help. Hint: It looked like a Japanese style bullet hell game but the difficulty was easy enough for me back then. Had some trancey colour and graphic effects. The place setting was in space. And I don't think it looks anything like Raiden

                              I'm a 2000s kid, but still got to play quite a handful of feature phone games. My favourite one being Devils and Demons back in my Mom's Sony Ericsson that I never knew the model name of. I also faintly remember a game about a shark eating fish, some sorta tatoo tycoon game, a disco tycoon game, PoP, a wizard/witch platformer game and a buncha CoD games. Anyone recognise these games? I don't really wanna play them (I think I might cry) but would probs watch a video for the memorriezzz

                                Used to play some rally game a lot on Symbian, can't remember the name any more. Now it's Pocket Rally on Android, way better graphics but I still miss steering with real keys
