Ah, old mobile games.

They were never very good, but for what they were and the limitations of older phones… they had their own charm.

I don’t know anything about this Ratchet & Clank game, but as far as old mobile tie-ins to existing console franchises go, I remember 2006’s Daxter being really good.

And then there’s Kingdom Hearts, which hides critical “you’ll have no idea what’s going on in later games if you skip this” plot behind two different mobile games.

Weren’t those games on handheld game systems, not mobile phones?

Coded and Union X were both mobile games. They were later adapted for other systems, but they were only originally intended to be available on mobile.

Damn. KH is worse than I thought!

Doom RPG was actually pretty fun. I’m really disappointed it never got updated to 64-bit so isn’t compatible with my iPhone anymore.

I think this was perfect because it wasn’t real time combat but turn based combat. I used to play it first on one of my first flip phones back in the day.

Idk I played Doom RPG on my flip phone in high school and that game was pretty awesome. I also had Splinter Cell 3 on it, that was pretty miserable to play, but it was cool seeing full 3d on a phone.

I had a Nokia 3120 at the time, I don’t think that could have run DoomRPG. Looks like it would have been fun though.

There were some early-ish mobile games were like really good. Infinity blade, Modern combat 2, The tintin game (to the ~2015 movie) and Rainbow six Are some that come to mind. Key point they were not drowning in ads and had actual single player stuff while mc2 and r6 even had local multiplayer via Bluetooth.
