I grew up on TR1, and going back to the first six games was still hard because of them. Although admittedly once you get used to them again they do kind of work. I think it helps that they do meaningfully change in combat,
Officially yes. But you can also play with normal Symbian S60 games as well so you have a lot of game options to choose from besides the official N-Gage games.
I had one. Got it at a discount at AT&T because no one was buying them. I Loved it. The concept of your phone also being a dedicated handheld device meant I was always ready to play whenever I got randomly stuck waiting for anything and no need to carry around an extra device. I don't have it anymore sadly, but still got most of my cartridges. My favorite one was Asphalt: Urban Unleashed.
I might try and find one in great condition for my collection of old favorite gaming devices, if possible. I have a decent collection of almost every Nintendo and Sony portable and lots of cartridges with their original boxes. Might as well get this.
I remember hearing about it in magazines back in the day and being like "wow Nokia made a handheld, and it has Sonic on it??" When I found out it was a port of Sonic Advance but in portrait mode I wasn't so impressed. I was so used to the wider screen the GBA had.
You need the cracked versions of the games in order to play them from your own mmc card. There's a section on reddit for the n-gage, you should take a look at it. I almost have a complete collection for the n-gage :) just missing a few titles that are really hard to find. I also owned the N-Gage back in the day and loved it. It was really ahead of its time and I always found it a shame that it didn't sell well. Used to browse the web, chat on IRC and MSN and watch divx movies on it, apart from gaming
My dad had this when I was a kid and this was the stuff man. The nostalgia is hitting me. I think I still have it and my favorite game, tony hawk pro skater :)
I have the original N-Gage. With this model you have to power the phone off and remove the battery every time you want to change games. Not a great design lol. I ended up putting all the roms on an SD card so I didn't have to bother.

Mark Upcraft the original model was much better otherwise. The newer model lacked some features, like radio.
In this episode, we about learn tank controls. Up arrow means forward the direction you’re looking, not the direction of the camera. God the pre-analog era was clunky.
I had the original version of it, to take out the game you had to take the back of the phone off. Possibly even turn the phone off and remove the battery, I don't remember.
I had both versions of the N-Gage and I loved them! I never owned any gameboys or anything like that when I was a kid so I guess this is my version of that lol
Nice video! The MMC (MultiMediaCard) was quite common storage media in Nokia phones back in the day... Later SD cards improved the standard and therefore SD card readers are backwards compatible with MMC
This was an amazing phone. I had one when I first started my career as a truck driver. It had several awesome features like Bluetooth and cellular modem mode. When I got tired of playing tomb raider I would connect it to my laptop via USB and use the cellular connection to play World of Warcraft in the middle of nowhere. Wish it operated on a frequency that was still in operation, I’d still carry it.
Interestingly, you could play these games on any high-end Symbian device, if you **cough** copy the games to a regular SD. For example, I was playing N-Gage games on my Nokia N70. It's not as comfortable as playing on N-gage, because of the button layout, but not impossible. I enjoyed playing Asphalt and Sims, Sonic N was tough tho.
BiNPDA (remember them?) did cracked releases of them back in the day. I remember a friend playing N-Gage games on his Nokia 6600 and now I thought it's as if Nokia merely used their existing Series 60 tech and passed it off as a handheld console.
The game that surprised me the most has to be Tomb Raider. Ok the controls are pants, but once you get used to them. The game is quite playable and a close copy of the PS original.
I had the original model when it got discounted. I remember they selling it for like 99 euros a piece not that long after it was released. The battery didn’t last all that long when gaming and it was awkward to hold sideways when making phone calls. Also you had to remove the battery to change games and mmc cards. But it had stereo speakers and a pretty decent mp3-player back when dedicated players were quite expensive. It was cool to have an mp3 player at school. I bought a bigger memory card and put all the games on it. I don’t remember there being any hacking on the phone to get the games working. The gamefiles just needed to be cracked in order to play them from the memcard. I think there was a site that had pre-cracked games or then I got them off some torrent-site. Don’t remember. Fun fact is that you could put the cracked games on almost any series60 Nokia symbian phone and play them. I can’t remember if they needed to be cracked differently but I had those games on a Nokia 6600 too after I swithced phones when I got a bit older and needed something more ”mature”.
This was the second generation N-Gage. I had the first generation. The first generation has to held in a weird way to take calls . It looked like you were holding a taco to your ear. And you had to take the battery out to change the game cards it was an absolute shambles but I still loved it. I considered getting this version but by that time the novelty had worn off for me
As neat as this little device is, I think Tomb Raider and Red Faction were poor choices to go on it. Since they were games from bigger consoles that had joysticks on their controllers. I used to watch my older brother play Tomb Raider on our PS 1 and we both played and completed Red Faction on our PS 2. So ya, a Nintendo D-Pad doesn't cut it for those games. :)
ingat ketika dulu nyari kerja hapenya N-Gage QD. lagi nunggu dipanggil tes sambil mainin nih hape, temen2 pada ngerubung. bangga pernah upnya N-Gage QD 🥰
Found your channel like 1 week ago and I swear you look exactly like one of my old school friends. The face and especially these glasses. You even share the same interest in retro stuff.
Back when I was an elementary school brat back in mid-late 2000's, my mom decided to buy me this because I kept asking her. When she did, I was very excited since it also came with pre-installed games inside it. 6 to 7 years later, my older siblings and I used it extensively until it died sometime in 2013/14. People may say N-Gage was a disastrous bad idea, I don't care because at least conceptually it's nice and worked to some extent.
i still credit this phone for me finding the best video game i ever played, ANOTHER WORLD / OUT OF THIS WORLD, i loved that game so much, that even until today, i keep buying it on every single platform i can find, weirdly enough , i had it on IBM PC before the ngage, but never loved it, playing it on NGAGE made me fall mad in love with it, sadly i still lack the sega cd version and it is considered one of the best version since it has the sequel/prequel in it...
The Sony Expiria Play was more known?! Hmmm, maybe where you life, i just know the N-Gage hype was really strong here in my country when i was in school in the early 2000s.
I personally never heard of this N-Gage thing while I knew the Experia Play very well. I started school in the mid 2000s so maybe there's the problem. :D
It was hyped where I was in the UK only as a joke. One guy I knew got one and everyone wanted to try it, despite all going on about how it looked like you were talking into a taco in calls
Really nice video 😄👍 P.S. The Game Boy Advance can also display some 3D graphics similar to the one from the PS1. 1) Super Monkey Ball Jr is nearly the same on GBA (compared to the N-Gage version). 2) Driv3r or Asterix & Obelix XXL are the only platrform\adventure games that they are a bit similar to Tomb Raider (similar complexity of the environments). 3) And Duke Nukem Advance, 007 Nightfire or Icenine are similar to Red Faction.
this was the best gimmick phone ever , i had it in secondary school, and i wish if it had a bigger screen, 4g, and modern, i would buy that version hahaha
I know this comment is coming in over a year later, Elliot, but I wanted to comment on Tomb Raider, since despite not having played it on the N-Gage, I have played it on other platforms. It is the original Tomb Raider, that seems to have been repackaged as a port for the N-Gage. The way it's played is she moves forward in the direction she's facing and the left and right directions are designed for adjustments only. Kind of like charging about underwater in the Spyro 2, where you hold square and he dashes forward in the direction he's facing, with the analog stick being used to adjust the direction he moves in. Tomb Raider was designed for the original PlayStation console, and I believe it was made prior to the introduction of the DualShock Controller, when all the PSOne controllers had were D-Pads. It's not the best by today's standards, and requires a bit to get used to again even for me after playing more conventional 3D games. Anyway, just letting you know in case you haven't already been informed that the problems you had controlling Lara were not due to any fault in the port, it's just simply a one-to-one to the original game. That being said, the original Tomb Raider is still, in my opinion, one of the best in the series (I obviously do not count the 2013 reboot, since I haven't played it {erego I can't judge}, not to mention that in my opinion the 2013 reboot series is an entirely different genre to the original series and even to the 2006 reboot, but I digress), and obviously, Crystal Dynamics thought so too, seeing as how they decided to remake the game as part of the 2006 reboot series. Anyway, I kinda went off on a tangent there, but yeah, I'm obviously a bit of a Tomb Raider nut. I've seen and played a couple of portable TR games, including the GBC one (atrocious when compared to the flagship series, but on its own, not bad!), and I thought that you might be interested in my comment. I love your channel, Elliot! Bye!
It seems there is no working emulators around. Nokia had software development kit for all phones that ran same operating system (S602nd) than N-gage and it includes some kind of emulator environment for testing software but that doesn't probably work on modern operating systems...
Point and shoot ... rofl, elliot just made a new genre of gaming, mixing the elements of a first person shooter with a point and click adventure!!! Or perhaps a game like pokemon snap would be point and shoot?
I had one of these in about 2004. It was a nice little phone, just a shame there weren't much software support for it. Tomb Raider was actually made in my Hometown here in Derby It was an awesome game back in the 90's on PS1 and it was actually really impressive that a 2003 Handheld could run it. Tomb Raider hasn't aged well though and the controls and physics are very clunky now.
I always thought the N-Gage was super cool when I was younger. People seem to give it a lot of hate retrospectively, which is odd because it was a pretty big deal when it first came out and for a few years afterwards.
i remember saving for the ngage [first version] and i already had a multimedia card with tons of games before going to the store to pick this up. the price was pretty high, but totally worth, nokia with symbian OS were very popular and that OS was used for a couple of years with different phones. still got it, it was kinda broken but years ago i bought another one on ebay and pulled a frankenstein. sadly, can't find any battery at home right now, but it still works, i remember that a couple of gameboy emulators were released, so i will probably try to find one.
i have an n-gage but the metal part that covers the memory card slot/game slot is missing so cant use it without using tape to hold down the card wish i knew if i could get a replacement
This is the only gaming system on this whole planet, that still doesn't have an emulator, where I could play its games. I have been looking for one for a decade now, but for some reason nobody has ever made one. The game selection on this system was just incredible: Pathway to Glory, and the second part of it, Ikusa Islands were 10/10 games, amazing in every aspect. Colin Mcrae rally, amazing handling and graphics, best mobile racing game ever made. High Seize, Ashen, Civilization, etc. So many gems, it's a tragedy there is no way to play them on anything but on an N-Gage system.
@@PJ-sv4iw And is it functional to the level of actually being able to properly emulate all N-Gage games? I remember a few months ago I read something about an emulator, but that wasn't very functional, at least at that time.

Rocking it right now with epsxe+Alien Trilogy, wish the Dpad was really a Dpad and the 2 analogs were not touch "sticks", still love the Play, would instabuy a Switch rival Xperia Play2 !!! XD
Hi, i know we can’t play games or make calls without the sim card inserted first. But can you boot up the phone with the charger only? (like the PSP 3000, for example)
The games were actually pretty awesome. The ones you should play are: Ashen, One, Pandemonium, King of Fighters, Xanadu Next, Elder Scrolls: Shadowkey (the only mobile ES Game ever made) and Pathway to Glory. Btw. you should get your hands on an empty MMC Card. You can find pretty much every game on the web and then just transfer them to the card.
whoa, tomb rider movement is hard? I think it is the same movement as early resident evil games. you press left or right to turn the character, press front to move the character to the front they are facing and I got the original, my mom dubbed it as "crab" because it looks like crab body, and tbh, sonic is the best game in nokia n-gage game line up
Seems like an underpowered original PlayStation, especially with Tomb Raider which looked identical to the PlayStation version outside of having a lower frame rate, I remember ppl calling it a taco phone
you can even do a handstand in tomb raider after you get used to controls... pro tip: every button does something; not only the 'action buttons' as you call them :) had a couple diablo clones and action rpg which were quite good. 1st revision is better in my opinion qd is little smaller to play comfortably.
When I was in college in 2006 I wanted a PSP but couldn't afford one, so I decided to try a used n-gage instead. It was like $30 on ebay. The MP3 player was quite useful when I had it but beyond the thing was useless. The screen was terrible for games and most of the games I had were nearly unplayable. It felt like the definition of "designed by committee".
Check out the Elder Scrolls Game for the N-Gage, it’s pretty rare but it’s one of the systems best and exclusive games. It’s also hard to emulate so it’s one of a kind.
i wonder how durable the unit was. if its anything like the Nokia 3310, you would through it out a window and the concrete below would shatter, but the phone would be fully intact.
Bit o fun watching someone younger strugle with the "tank" controls of early PSOne games
I grew up on TR1, and going back to the first six games was still hard because of them.
Although admittedly once you get used to them again they do kind of work. I think it helps that they do meaningfully change in combat,
As a ps classic player, I know what you mean.
I remember getting one of the original's for Christmas - everyone mocked it, but I loved it lol

Yeah but can it outdo the souljaphone
Answer: no
Bo Bo what can? its a BEAST
Not even the Galaxy Fold can do that!
N-gage can run emulators

still got it, it was kinda broken but years ago i bought another one on ebay and pulled a frankenstein.
sadly, can't find any battery at home right now, but it still works, i remember that a couple of gameboy emulators were released, so i will probably try to find one.
i have an n-gage but the metal part that covers the memory card slot/game slot is missing so cant use it without using tape to hold down the card wish i knew if i could get a replacement
My friend had the original model N-Gage, which amazingly required you to remove the battery to insert the games...
This is the only gaming system on this whole planet, that still doesn't have an emulator, where I could play its games. I have been looking for one for a decade now, but for some reason nobody has ever made one. The game selection on this system was just incredible: Pathway to Glory, and the second part of it, Ikusa Islands were 10/10 games, amazing in every aspect. Colin Mcrae rally, amazing handling and graphics, best mobile racing game ever made. High Seize, Ashen, Civilization, etc. So many gems, it's a tragedy there is no way to play them on anything but on an N-Gage system.
There’s an emulator now on android and windows
@@PJ-sv4iw And is it functional to the level of actually being able to properly emulate all N-Gage games? I remember a few months ago I read something about an emulator, but that wasn't very functional, at least at that time.
@@kosztaz87 Yes, it's been out for quite a while and you can remap controls to gamepads too, as clucky as that seems.
Someone says the n gage is a failure
Is it true ?
I loved my N-Gage. Only issue was getting it on T-Mobile, for some reason. Parents chose that. They never chose that sort of thing ever again 😂

So when can we expect the Xperia Play review? Best emulation machine in its form factor
Rocking it right now with epsxe+Alien Trilogy, wish the Dpad was really a Dpad and the 2 analogs were not touch "sticks", still love the Play, would instabuy a Switch rival Xperia Play2 !!! XD
Surprised we haven’t seen this tried really seriously since. Exclusive titles and all
I had the Original one in school, remember blowing people’s minds with it 😂
I bet!
I felt old watching you struggle with the Tomb Raider tank controls haha
Hi, i know we can’t play games or make calls without the sim card inserted first. But can you boot up the phone with the charger only? (like the PSP 3000, for example)
Love your vids
i miss this phone so bad..
the design and utilities are not that good but still.. it still lovely reminiscing my youth.
Wow that Super Monkey Ball music brought back so many memories 😂
The games were actually pretty awesome. The ones you should play are: Ashen, One, Pandemonium, King of Fighters, Xanadu Next, Elder Scrolls: Shadowkey (the only mobile ES Game ever made) and Pathway to Glory.
Btw. you should get your hands on an empty MMC Card. You can find pretty much every game on the web and then just transfer them to the card.
Nokia makes some pretty cool phones they was a head of their time
Ahh the Taco phone LOL!
at least u didn't have to take the battery out for a new game,but how can u not have a volume switch?
No Splinter Cell mentions really?
I saw one for sale on a flea market recently, but they wanted 185€ for it so I didn't even consider buying it.
Oh my lord. Where would they even get that price in their heads, wow!
I effin loved my original N-Gage.
Sweet!
whoa, tomb rider movement is hard? I think it is the same movement as early resident evil games. you press left or right to turn the character, press front to move the character to the front they are facing
and I got the original, my mom dubbed it as "crab" because it looks like crab body, and tbh, sonic is the best game in nokia n-gage game line up
Wen i was in 10th standard my senior had this phone I used to play fifa 03 all night.
Seems like an underpowered original PlayStation, especially with Tomb Raider which looked identical to the PlayStation version outside of having a lower frame rate, I remember ppl calling it a taco phone
you can even do a handstand in tomb raider after you get used to controls... pro tip: every button does something; not only the 'action buttons' as you call them :) had a couple diablo clones and action rpg which were quite good. 1st revision is better in my opinion qd is little smaller to play comfortably.
Nokia has predicted the Nintendo Switch cartridges (2003 unreleased)
Does anyone ever notice on some old devices, the screen has yellow edges?
How do we get rid of this without switching out the screens?
When I was in college in 2006 I wanted a PSP but couldn't afford one, so I decided to try a used n-gage instead. It was like $30 on ebay. The MP3 player was quite useful when I had it but beyond the thing was useless. The screen was terrible for games and most of the games I had were nearly unplayable. It felt like the definition of "designed by committee".
The way you have to remove the gamecard reminds me of my Atari Lynx. I hated that. Some had a ridge that made it easy. But a lot of them didn't.
Check out the Elder Scrolls Game for the N-Gage, it’s pretty rare but it’s one of the systems best and exclusive games. It’s also hard to emulate so it’s one of a kind.
i wonder how durable the unit was. if its anything like the Nokia 3310, you would through it out a window and the concrete below would shatter, but the phone would be fully intact.
N gage looks interesting and unique 😃
This is gen two. I had gen 1 and had to remove the battery to swap games. And you found gen 2 tricky ;)
Hello there, I just bought myself a first generation N Gage and I’m wondering where can I buy a replacement battery?? By the way, great video!!
