The history of digital gaming has been widely celebrated from all generation. Although video games would not reach mainstream pop-culture in mid 1970’s as arcade games, video game consoles or even computer games to the general public, the mobile gaming started way later in the year 1994.

1. HISTORY Of MOBILE GAMING
The history of digital gaming has been widely celebrated from all generation.
Although video games would not reach mainstream pop-culture in mid 1970’s
as arcade games, video game consoles or even computer games to the general
public, the mobile gaming started way later in the year 1994.
It was unimaginable to anyone that any game was possible on such a small
device such mobile phones back then, where NOKIA just revolutionized mono-
colored bar phones.
Even phones were not available to all people as they were high end electronic
devices and were deadly costly. The first mobile game was the famous TETRIS
in the Hagenuk MT-2000 device in the year 1994.
From 2 bit snake on NOKIA sets to modern day VR game on the fastest
running smart phones, there has been considerable range of upgrade.

2. With increasing demand on making games to look more real, developers have
worked hard and successfully kept all our dreams come true.
Towards the end of the 20th century, owning a mobile phone became
omnipresent in the industrialized world - due to the rapid expansions of
different companies, and along with it the price of handset also decreased
considerably.
Outcome of which led to this huge change, technological up gradation by
handset developers became more frequent and fast.
With these advancements in technology, mobile phone games also got
sophisticated with each iteration, taking the upper hand to exponentially
improve display, processing, memory management, look and feel, network
coverage and refined operating systems.
With the arrival of featured phones AKA camera phones in the market, more
hardware power became obtainable even in low price-range devices.
Coloured display, multi-channel audio and most importantly the means to
download and save new applications paved a new direction for commercial
mobile game publishing.
Originally games were pre-installed in the mobile phones that were bought
and only were limited to that phase until 1999 Japan took it to a level above

3. and introduced to the world the first downloadable mobile phone games on
the NTT’s DoCoMo’s I-Mod platform. Amazing isn’t it?
It was the marketed and commercialized throughout Asia, Europe and North
of America by 2000, and then gradually to other nations. In the present day,
Japan is standing strong as the world's largest market for producing and
revenuing mobile games.
In Europe, downloadable mobile game contents were established by “Les
Games” portal at Orange France, owned by In-fusio, in the year 2000.
Before mobile games were commonly provided directly by handset builders,
now along with them mobile operators started distributing games.
But handling hundreds of one or two person team of developers was a tedious
job, so mobile aggregators and publishers started to act as a bridge between
operators and developers that in turn reduced the revenue share received by
the developers.
It was a hard blow and not so good news to developers back then.
2003 gave us android Operating system but back then it was still glitchy and
bugged, unlike not where it reigns with equal competition with the Apple OS.
In 2008 Steve Jobs pioneered his greatest creation, the i-Phone app store
which entirely changed the market.
Firstly it widened the users options to choose from where to download apps;
the application store on the device.
The Apple users, however, are only restricted to use the Apple App Store,
since Apple forbids the distribution of apps via any other distribution channel.
Secondly, mobile developers can upload applications directly to the App Store
without the typically lengthy negotiations with publishers and operators.
Lastly the tight integration of the App Store with the device itself intrigued
many consumers to try out apps, and the games market received a
considerable boost. It was booming with new games in the market.
