Cellphones games

Cell phone games are games that are either created or re-formatted to be used on cellular phones.
HistoryWith the creation of the cell phone, one was easily impressed with the mere fact that the phone required no cables, but towards the end of the 20th century, cellular phones started to modernize, and people wanted more out of their cell phones.
With the introduction of the "candy bar" style cell phone, the appearance of a cell phone as well as its features and calling capabilities became a lot more important to people. Cell phone games were among the many new features that could be expected in this new type of cell phone.
Old cell phone games were pretty low tech. The games were usually animated with black squares. Some of the most common cell phone games were "snake" and "brick". Unlike today's modern cell phone games which usually have to be purchased, these games came pre-installed on the cell phone.
When the "camera phone" was introduced to the public, cell phones started to become a lot more common and a very big trend. The storage and graphic capabilities on these new phones were a lot better than the older "candy bar" style phone, which meant that higher quality games could be created for use on cellular phones. This of course also meant that companies could make a profit off of these games.
Cell phone games are not as big of a success as they were thought to be because using a cell phone keypad as a controller is much different than any video game console. Also, the games available for cell phones are usually relatively short.
Cell phone Games TodayToday, Cell phone games have come a very long way. Their graphics are about the same as you would expect on a 4th or 5th generation game console (which may not seem like a very big improvement yet is considered one because the game is being played on a cell phone). Cell phone games now tend to take up a large amount of memory on cell phones, which is part of the reason why they still aren’t too popular. Still, certain games such as "Tetris" and "Solitaire" are somewhat popular cell phone games.
