Comment on This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone

I used to work for a J2ME mobile games developer. Fun times but it was wild west. They didn’t properly standardize the API so each mobile phone had its own glitches, incompatibilities and extra APIs and the emulatos were not very accurate either. That meant we basically had to have pretty much all phones there to test the games.
