The controls are just too awkward for me to handle.

It's actually my cell phone, but I don't play many games on it due to the fact that you have to disassemble it to change games.
The controls for the system could have been better, but there were actually quite a few good games for the system.

I had 2 QDs, still have one. Used one as my phone for about 6 months or so. Not up to par with cell phone options today, but Symbian phones were way ahead of their time, and when the QD came out it was actually a pretty sweet phone. I enjoyed it.
The games were a bonus as far as I'm concerned, there were a handful of really good ones too. KOF:Extreme and the Pathway to Glory games in particular ate up a lot of my time between classes and at work

My collection of games and swag:
This photo has everything. In the top left you'll see some media kits that were sent to magazines (screenshots for previews etc.) Taito Memories (also on the left) was never released and this is only an empty shell they had for display at Gamestop.
These were reviewable copies of games that were sent to magazine editors. In the bottom right is a copy of Virtua Cop, a game that was never released.
I always liked the N-gage and wouldn't mind picking up one of the N-series of phones if I could find one cheap enough.
PS - If the pics are too large let me know and I'll link them.

The apeman is my best friend and gave me most of these as birthday and Christmas presents (sold the rest of them to me pretty cheap, too). In fact the N-gage in this pic is his old one I bought when he got a QD instead.
He no longer does the video game thing and has sold off most of his stuff on ebay.
Nice! I bought a Neo home system and a Neo CD system off him years ago when I lived there.

Nice collection!
Let me know how far you get/have gotten in Pocket Kingdom. It was a good game I just couldn't figure out (read: it handed me my ass).
I wouldn't mind laying hands on some of the system's late releases like Citizens of Catan. I'm also on the look out for System Rush. I'm not sure if it was ever released or just ended up being a download.

*Blows dust off*
Heh, grabbed one of these today. A local FYE had one for 75% off, so I decided to take the plunge.
I was hoping some of you NGage vets could answer some of my questions.
Does any MMC work in it? I have the first gen, btw.

You could always do like I said in the post earlier. If you need help with that LMK. Oh and system rush is on the list.
Another Type-O fan! I still listen to them. They're great in concert.
Nice what did you end up paying for it? To answer your question the ones I have found all work. I have 2 gig MMC in my first gen. The only problem I have with it is it wont see the mem card if I use the usb cable. Thats not a problem because it takes FOREVER to transfer files to it by usb anyway. When you get a MMC format it with the N-Gage full bat or pluged in. It does take a long time to format. If you need more help with it lmk.
Yes I seen them on Halloween years ago when October Rust came out. Still one of my all time fave CDs.

I paid $50 for it. It was new, so I figured it wasn't a bad deal.
Not a terrible phone, really.
So, can you change the wallpaper on this thing?
If you can, and somebody would let me know, I'd be very appreciative.

I won an auction for a QD. I'm excited to get it. I hope it gets here soon.
Got a handful of games in the last few days too. I got:
SSX
Colin Mcrae 2005
Pocket Kingdom
Worms
WWE Aftershock (?)
Not terribly impressed with any of them. SSX is ok, as are Worms and Pocket Kingdom. The load times kill me on Worms.
Is the screen bigger on the QD than the original?

From what I remember the screen is the same size, but higher quality.
Let me know what you think of Pocket Kingdom after you get a little more time put into it. I was enjoying it, but couldn't get very far. I'm trying to decide if I should go back and try it again.
Nope same size.

Pocket Kingdom seemed ok. I probably put a couple hours in. I got to Cressence. The internet type humor kinda doesn't really do it for me. I also don't like how after you defeat a castle, if you search again, you'll find it again. Creating items is a little cumbersome, too. I wish you could choose to make an item and the game would check to see if you had the proper materials, instead of having to select each material. It's pretty time consuming.
So far, Worms seems like the best game I've played. It's a solid game.
No QD yet. I think the one I got is locked to Cingular. Any tips on unlocking?
