The sad tale of how I ended up with an N-Gage...

Recommended Posts

My parents dragged me to the flea market...

Where I saw a Mega Drive/Genesis and a Speccy, but they didn't let me buy it and there was lots of bootleg stuff like a Game "Child", and fake Genesis and a fake NES too...

Ooh the things I saw! I wish I brought my camera or at least use my cell phone camera...

OH! WAIT! I CAN'T! It was stolen in the crowdiest place of the flea market....

It cost me bleedin' 350€... at least!

Fortunately, I made a back up of the SMC card with all the games I purchased, so they wouldn't be lost, IF I bought a phone that was compatible with them, so it HAD to a Symbian cell phone from the 60 series....

You can only guess which was the only one in my current budget... :shifty:

Yep, I had no option but to buy or N-Gage QD...

Oddly enoughy nobody booed or throwed rotten tomatoes at me.... :blink:

I also got me Tomb Raider and Bomberman just to try it out...

It's not as bad as I thought, but it's nothing special either...

So, whatever, boo me, laugh at me, but my phone was stolen and this was the only Symbian I could afford... ;(

lol, a classic selection of the games I tested...

it's a shame credits have to be manually added to moby games, my list would be stupidly huge and stupidly embarassing heh.

I'm not allowed to list the N-Gage games ive tested beceause NDAs exist

Tomb Raider

Pandemonium

Sonic N

Super Monkey Ball

Puyo Pop

Pathway to Glory

Tony Hawk

blah

blah

I have done a classic games industry move and left QA for pastures new...

;)

p.s if you do have an N-Gage, there ar eno good games, but Sonic N and Pathway to Glory are your best bet... also puyo pop is fun if you like those kinda games :)

super monkey ball is a terrible terrible port.

There's always the BAFTA winning Collin McRae Rally 2005

Or comming soon the excellent game System Rush

*cough* :shifty:

But actually I'd say Pathway to Glory is one of the best N-Gage games I've seen.

Most of the games I saw were RPGs I never heard of, I couldn't find Sonic N in any of the stores I visited... ;(

I tested the PocketPC version of Tomb Raider (were you on that too Spaffy?), which was very effective at wrecking iPaq screens. :grin:

Regardless of how bad Tomb Raider was, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (iPaq / Palm) was far, far worse. ;(

The much maligned pocket Kingdoms was pretty fun. It was a remake of Dragon Force on the Saturn.

My roommate swears by his NGage. That is, as a phone. The games seem like bollocks, but there IS a certain appeal of making a call with The Taco.
