Millaista pelinkehitystä #Nokia tehtiin kulissien takana: pelinkehitysprojekteja Doomista Larryyn, jotka eivät päätyneet kuluttajien luureihin.

📱🎮 Nokia N-Gage from 2003 was an unsuccessful attempt to dethrone Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. While the idea of combining a mobile phone and a gaming console into one device made sense, the N-Gage didn't offer suitable gaming controls, had a screen orientation that wasn't ideal for gaming, and changing game cartridges required removing the battery each time.

Little bit of Nokia N-Gage love. I loved owning these.

Another launch title prototype added to my #Nokia N-Gage collection. This time it's Super Monkey Ball by #SEGA. 🙂

This build is from April 25th, 2003, so quite old. Must be the E3 demo.

OUT NOW: Lowtek’s ‘Parasite Pack’ New For… Nokia N-Gage?

In a move that’s could be genius – or sheer madness (or possibly both, it’s increasingly hard to tell these days), Dundee-based Lowtek Games has announced that its Parasite Pack bumper games compendium, has hit the ultimate mobile games console – the Nokia N-Gage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d0cnGhlqXE

Yes, you read that correctly. The N-Gage. Nokia’s quirky, taco-shaped-side-talking-not-quite-the-iphone mobile gaming device that did not transform the mobile games market into the global behemoth that we know and love today.

The Parasite Pack brings Lowtek’s NES trilogy – FLEA!, FLEA! 2, and Tapeworm Disco Puzzle – to the N-Gage. While technically running via emulation, these games have been lovingly (or perhaps stubbornly) redesigned to fit the N-Gage’s portrait screen. Expect 1:1 pixel aspect ratio and button remapping, although Lowtek, in their infinite wisdom, “recommend the default.” Because why make it easy?

In what’s being hailed as a momentous occasion (by Lowtek, at least), this release marks the first complete-in-box (CIB) N-Gage title in nearly 20 years. So, collectors, you can finally dust off those N-Gages and prepare to relive the glory days…

To further enhance the nostalgia (or the absurdity, depending on your perspective), Lowtek has even created ads in the style of the original UK N-Gage marketing campaigns – and because they’re clearly committed to this bit, Lowtek even did a photoshoot in some of the original N-Gage ad locations around Glasgow. Because, you know, why not?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLpVYJhHANg

Why the N-Gage?

The burning question, of course, is “Why?” According to Lowtek, the answer is simple: “Because we can and we want to help grow the N-Gage homebrew community, much like the other retro systems have done recently.” So, there you have it. Logic.

What You Get:

For the brave souls who decide to take the plunge, the “Parasite Pack” includes:

• Game case with laser-cut foam insert (because presentation is key, even for the N-Gage)
• Game card with holographic sticker (for that authentic 2003 feel) containing the games, wallpapers, ringtones, and the original NES ROMs.
• 8-page full-colour manual (because reading is fundamental)
• End seal holographic strip (for that all-important unboxing experience)

This first run will be limited to 100 copies. Price: a trifling £35. So, if you’re an N-Gage collector, a lover of the bizarre, or just want to own a truly unique piece of gaming history, you’d better act fast.

Lowtek Games has certainly delivered something… unexpected. Whether it’s a stroke of genius or a descent into madness is up for debate. But one thing’s for sure: they’ve made the N-Gage relevant again.

Buy your Parasite Pack now!

Tampereella kehitettiin Nokia N-Gage -konsolille paikannuspohjainen seikkailupeli Pohjoisen laulut/The Songs of the North . Peli on varhainen puhelimien paikannukseen pohjautuva peli ennen niiden nousua valtavirtaan.

Avui fa 20 anys que ens arribava "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory" per "N-Gage" 🕹🎮. #TomClancySSplinterCellChaosTheory #NGage #Arcade #Videojocs #Gaming #VideoGames #RetroGaming #ClassicGaming #RetroGames #VideojocsAntics

Here's a fun one:

Square Enix staff have discovered a cache of pristine retro games, some dating back to the #C64 era, #Atari and #Amstrad times. Amongst others, from the #Wii and and #DOS computer titles.

It's funny even seeing some #NGage games are in there!

Workers have been invited to take what they want from it, but they're also in talks with the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield for maybe donating to them!

#RetroGaming at its finest? Yes.

Look at this people, we might actually get #pico8 #fantasyconsole by @lexaloffle.bsky.social on #nokia #ngage! Check out #dreamcast implementation of PICO-8 as well: dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewto... #retrodev #retrogamedev #retrogaming

This Nokia N-Gage QD (RH-29) is not only a cyberpunk-ish phone from the beginning of the millennium, but also a fancy gaming console :blobcatgamer:

I did not have one back in the days, but yesterday successfully flashed the most up-to-date firmware and gave it a go. Controls are not the most convenient, but playing classic Tomb Raider on a hand-held device in 3D is something :ablobcatattention: :nokia:
