The Original Cell Phone Games You Forgot You Used To Love

There was nothing as important as getting your first cell phone. That's how you knew you were finally grown up. Now, kids get cell phones when they are still just little, but when we were younger, our parents made us wait until we were "responsible enough" to handle it.

Having a phone was pretty much the best. You could talk to your friends without worrying about your parents listening in. You also could take your phone on the go so you could pretend like you were important enough to need to be reached whenever.

The absolute best part of most cell phones was the games. Turning on your old Nokia and clicking to that games menu was the greatest.

What were the best games we played back in the day?

Tetris

On the Hagenuk MT-2000 the first cellphone game appeared and it was great. It was a version of Tetris that could be played on this beautiful cellphone.

Space Impact

When you were looking for something a little more dangerous you know you could play some Space Impact. Kind of like Astroids but for those who are far too busy to go to the arcade.

Brick Breaker

Not a lot of kids or teens needed Blackberrys, but if our parents had one or we were lucky enough to get one our whole lives were consumed by Brick Breaker.

Nokia Ringtone Composer

Because why would you want to have the same ringtone as everyone else when you could make your own!

Pairs / Pairs II

Because Nokia was the BEST for games, they gave us all the best ones including Pairs. I wonder if this game made it onto the re-release version of this phone.

Snake / Snake II

The best of the best, Snake is one of the greatest mobile games to have ever existed. Sure, it's simple in theory, but if you played it you know it's a lot harder than it looks. Who doesn't remember the frustration when you hit the end of your snake by just that much?

They Brought Back The Classic 80s Arcades From Your Childhood That You've Been Missing And We Want To Go

Video games in the 80s were completely different than they are now. Now we can all play our games on the go, but in the 80s you had to go to a specific building if you wanted to enjoy some kind of electronic fun. As time went on and home units became the norm, these magical buildings we all knew and loved started to fade away. We didn't need the arcades anymore, we could play our games on our own TVs, but there was never the same community feeling. We used to all gather around the machine because someone was

25 Years After Leaving Bayside High, Here's What The Cast of "Saved By The Bell" Are Up To Now

AOL TV named Saved By The Bell one of the "20 Best School Shows of all Time," and I'm sure everyone who's reading this article can agree with that sentiment. The American TV sitcom aired from 1989 to 1993, but has recently been classified as "educational and informational." That's cool and all, but it was also super-duper funny. It was one of the shows we looked forward to the most in the early '90s, and it helped launch the careers of some of these teen actors. Houston Chronicles Here's what the main cast of the show have been up to!
