Sometimes I feel those J2ME games were better than games today. I remember wasting hundreds of hours on worms and galaxy on fire and several others. I tried the new galaxy on fire in android and the game is just not good enough to keep me engrossed.
- GuiA 10y agoPerhaps your attention span/taste/expectations have changed since. I certainly had more fun with video games as a teenager than now, and I don't think it's necessarily due to an objective change in quality.
- lgieron 10y agoThe J2ME phones had physical buttons, with real physical clickey sensation when you press them. That's a world of difference in gaming when compared to a touchscreen.
- andrepd 10y agoI'm sure of that. Some games you just can't play on a touchscreen, but you could on a 12-key keyboard (and vice-versa, to be fair).
- andrepd 10y agoSame, as well as other Fishlabs games (Blades & Magic etc) and plenty others from Gameloft et al. I remember being much more engrossed those times than I have ever been involved in post-touch mobile games, for Android and iOS. I wonder if there was an objective decline in quality (it certainly seems so with the pesky social integration and all consuming microtransactions), or if I simply am less easily taken in than before.
