Mobile Games You Forgot About Over the Years

Post whatever ones you can think of. Maybe we will check them out!

Crazy Penguin Catapult (this is the second one. It doesn't look much different from the first one.)

Ouch!

Waterslide. (apparently, there's also a sequel for that game.)

Galaxy on Fire

There's actually a sequel to Galaxy on Fire, too. Thing is, the original only takes up 23.4 MB, and the sequel needs 450 or 680 MB, depending on if you're getting the HD version or not.

SD Version

HD Version

(I swear, it's like I keep seeing Xbox graphics for these things these days...)

Oh wow... I completely forgot about that game. I remember when I was being introduce to PC gaming my dad bought me a $10/month subscription to some service called Gametap, where I could basically download any game from a huge library of games and play them all as long as my subscription was still being paid. That introduced me to a lot of older, semi-obscure games. I have a vague memory of some RC car game, some mini golf game, Fate (Basically the game that inspired Torchlight, along with Diablo,) Ricochet, and some older arcadey games like Joust, Dig-dug, and Street Fighter. Oh, and this weird strategy game where you have to make a space station for aliens to stay in and keep them entertained, healthy and such. I remember having a lot of fun with that. I really want to find some of the games I don't remember the names of again, just to see if they still hold up today, or my brain is merely making me think I would still enjoy them.

What do you mean by "Xbox graphics"? Is that a good thing? o.O

Back in my day, we just played Solitaire on our cool Razrs.
Though I've haven't really played too many mobile games to be honest. They always felt like a waste of time to me in comparison to other games.

I second this question. The term confuses me.

I remember always asking my mom to borrow her phone so I could play Snake. I think the phone looked something like this:

Also, one of my first phones had a 30-second demo of Tetris that I would play during Biology under the desk sometimes.

the only mobile games i've ever played were demos of full games on my old phone. one was one level from a racing game, the other one was a demo of Pac-Man.

edit: i did indeed forget about them!

DigDug, aw man I wish I had this game on my PC or on PS1 emulator. My past friend and I had so much fun on this game.

And also Fur Fighters, that game was a BLAST.

If you think Destiny is beautiful, try playing PC Games (Most modern titles) at 2560x1440 (Maybe downsampled a bit big_smile ) and make sure Tessellation and Anti Aliasing is cranked up.
Destiny was soo big for consoles since it was a MMO for console but what console users need to realise is that there are more better/beautiful MMO's on PC and that will never change.

One mobile game I use to play as a kid was some Golfing game on my Mom's old Motorola. Oh yeah, and I use to play N-Gage games back when they had those things on display at many Target's, Fry's Electronics, Best Buy's, and Mobile phone stores. Actually come to think of it, do iOS games from 2008-2009 count as 'old?' Because I remember I use to play one called Pop the Bubble wrap and another called The Atomic Bomb. That was back when my dad first bought an iPhone.

EDIT: I forgot to mention PacMan. I use to play PacMan on my Dad's phone from 10 years ago all the time.

I meant to say that the quality of the mobile games is so good now that it can be easily comparable to the quality of console games.

Actually, it's nowhere near that quality, but it may appear so due to the low resolution of your phone. If you blew up that phone's screen onto a TV, it would be easily comparable to something less graphically impressive than a ps2, but not quite as bad as a ps1.

Unless the app is designed to run on something equivalent to the Galaxy S4/5's screen.
