I'm doing a little bit of research into roleplaying games for the mobile platform.

Are there any good mobile RPGs out there? There seems to be a few available, but... well. Are there any that compare favourably, in terms of storyline/gameplay/plot, to the RPGs we're used to on the PC?

I'm very--very--vaguely thinking about looking into developing an RPG for the Mobile platform, and I'm interested to see what's been achieved and what's in progress.

I've got a Nokia 6120 Classic, but I've also got a N-95 available.


And on that note--just in general, any games you've played/seen that were good, on the mobile? I'd be very interested to hear peoples' experiences with the mobile as a gaming platform!

Some dudes ported GemRB to the N8x0.

There's a Baldur's Gate for cellphones and I think an NWN also. I haven't played either (I don't think my phone supports them). One of the best I have played is EDGE for Palm devices.

My phone makes and receives calls and sends or receives text messages. That's all I ever want from it. I don't bother with any of the other functions, although a built-in camera could be nice. For portable Internet I'd much rather use a laptop.
I did battle with monsters, and they became me, and when I gazed into the abyss, the abyss looked away shyly.
See, it helps not to believe all the stuff that philosophers spout.
