Retro Mobile Gaming

I came across my old Atari Lynx at home and having been at the Nokia Games Summit I was inspired to bring it in to work to see if I could get it going. The original power supply was knackered but I managed to cobble something together to get it to work. The photo below shows how 1989 technology stacks up against an N95 and illustrates an evolution in mobile gaming.
Although the controls are very different the screen size is about the same butthe resolution and colour depth are lower. Interestingly the game on the Lynx is ‘Todd’s Adventures in Slime World’ which was a very playable game and would probably give many current mobile games a run for their money in terms of actual game play
