Where to get Japanese Shmup Java games.

Post by Berty »

Hi,

I just got a new phone which can play Java games (i have been living in the past since my other mobile was stolen).

I know that there were a few cool Java shmups released, i.e. ProGear. I was wondering if there was anyway of getting these games if you live outside of japan? I thought that someone may have them posted ona website etc.

I believe the answer is no. Unlike in Europe (and maybe in USA, I don't know) you don't buy the games into your mobile phone, you rent them. You pay a little something for them monthly. And if you bring your phone outside Japan, they stop working.

I think that's pretty much the case, somebody else can explain the finer details.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.
