The History of Cell Phone Gaming

Next Generation has a piece on the short history of cell-phone based gaming. From the article: "The first-ever mobile phone game was the black-and-white Snake embedded in the Nokia 6110 model in 1997. The gameplay was simple, as you led led the 'snake' (really just a thick line) around the screen to collect dots. Mobile gamers would remain color blind until 2001, when Nokia introduced the first color screens; a major step in the presentation of mobile games."
