Hey folks,
I see we have 35 Nokia N-Gage games - http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/ngage/ - which ain't bad!
But looks like there are almost 60 in total, including games like an N-Gage exclusive version of Catan (!), Call Of Duty, Requiem Of Hell (N-Gage exclusive RPG), etc...
Who is brave enough to try to get us up to date on these, heh?

Yeah, N-Gage is difficult. The games are widely available, but there are no emulators. I actually got myself a QD a while back, but couldn't get anything to work on it unfortunately. Not a lot on Youtube either, so the only good sources are probably reviews.

There's no known emulator, and so if screenshots don't work with built-in tool, we have no way of adding user screenshots.
At some point in the future (not known when!) we will accept 'official' screenshots as a backup, so that's probably going to be the time when we can finally add screenshots for a lot of these.
In the short-term, just getting game info (and covers if available) is fine tho...

Yep, I think the original poster was saying that it didn't work in some of the games (but did work in others.) I think this is also true with some other consoles...

That's what I tried â the key combination doesn't respond in some games. I could take some shots from the menu, but not the actual gameplay for some reason. Maybe there are other tools to do the job, since N-Gage is a Symbian-based and there must've been such programs for other phones. I'll keep on trying.

Hi all,
I've contributed some N-Gage games along with screenshots. Can't really remember if I used the built-in feature or a 3rd party app, but I do recall both approaches. I might take a stab at trying to fill the gaps as I have most of the titles in my collection.
Also, it might not be a completely impossible task to revive a Symbian dev environment. It has an emulator but I doubt it runs N-Gage titles properly.

Oh cool, I managed to make screens for several games, but two I had no luck with so far are Tomb Raider and Bomberman. Also, do you know if there is a way to save snapshots to the memory card? Phone memory is only 3 Mb and always nearly full because of the game data.

I might have some of the missing games in my own collection. I own copies of Catan, Rifts: Promise of Power, System Rush, The Roots - Gates of Chaos, Warhammer 40000: Glory in Death, X-Men Legends II Rise of the Apocalypse. To my best of knowledge "Barakel - The Fallen Angel" was only released in Spain, maybe as a pre-installed version. I also think "Payload" was slated for a release on April 1st (no April fool's joke), 2006, but never had a retail release. And I am not sure whether or not it was ever released later for the N-Gage service. So you have 46 games listed, maybe I can contribute the six aforementioned games, but I must admit I suck at contributing screenshots, so I will probably just provide the other game data.
