(For one thing, it's a scrolling game with no room names.)

So the new question is this: Why don't there seem to be any decent mobile-phone emulators for playing Java mobile games? You wouldn't think it'd be hard to knock up something that would play .JAR files.

Observe. To answer your question: Nobody cares.

Waiting for the punchline Posts: 1,756 Group: Subscribers Member #769 Joined: January 26, 2006 Football bias: slowly loosing interest The best videogame ever is: Bubble Symphony	I had this for the first Motorola flip phone I had about five/six years ago. Didn't like it tbh, but then again I didn't really have a lot of time for the original. Pretty accurate version as far as I can remember though. Edited to say I'm pretty certain the phone was a V620.

Now I need to find the version in that screenshot map.

Waiting for the punchline Posts: 1,756 Group: Subscribers Member #769 Joined: January 26, 2006 Football bias: slowly loosing interest The best videogame ever is: Bubble Symphony	That's how I had to play it full stop. MM was really well scaled and featured a minimal amount of scrolling, but JSW was designed to be pretty, rather than playable.

A good name for a band would be: Closed For Refurbishment	I dunno if it's much help but it's by Carl Woffenden. He's a lovely chap so might be worth dropping him a line to see if he can drop you a copy or a PC playable build? http://www.bigredswitch.co.uk/contact.html - hopefully that's still active, it was around a year ago when I dropped him a line.

It works fine and is dreamy. I wonder if I could negotiate a deal to give it away to WoS subbers?

My version did. An it was a V525 for definite.
