Post by uroko-sakanabito »

Hi there;

thank you :-)

it did dig very deep...
i found a few very good games and a massiv ammount of work for my anti virus guard ^___^

I only look for Symbian v1 games cause i can play them on my ngage:

GearStorm -2D Mech Action alla Assault Suit Valken
GunFire -2D Run n Gun
Galatron - 2D STG
Sky Force / Sky Foce Reloaded - VERY GOOD 2D STGames ! check it out !
Dragonworld - 2D STG with Dragons similar to Dragon Spirit
MagicBroom - 2D CuteEmUp with a witch, very nice !
Fire Storm - 2D STG, plays like a Raiden clone, very good and many bullets

i will do a youtube video for evey game in the next days, GearStorm is uploading rightnow.
Channel is german but you can checkout the gameplay.

that´s true !
Was a mistake in the beginning, my first guess was that all cell phones stgs come from japan ^__^

i look for every good STG on cell phones (symbian v1), not only for japanese.
Have to edit the title !

As embarrassing as it is to admit, I bought an ngage at launch and was kind of into it for about a year. The idea was great but the execution was just terrible. Maybe a little ahead of its time considering how much mobile gaming as blown up. Unfortunately I can't remember many shooters by name but there was quite a lot of them, the screen was obviously perfect. A lot of the java games were compatible with ngage dpad as well so maybe try expanding your search to those as well. Skyforce was really cool and I remember it being by far the best quality shooter in terms of polish.

FireStorm & Magic Broom are very good STGs !
