Nokia N-Cage

📖 Storyline: My generation to have fun with video games, I'm talking to you about the early 2000s, we used to carry around hybrids between a portable console and mobile phones with the name Nokia N-Cage.  Unknowingly we were entering the era of smart gaming capable of not only making calls but also starting video games in 2D, 2.5D and 3D.  The design, for those who could afford N-Cage, €339, was similar to a taco with a 2.1" screen placed in the center while on the sides there was a physical keyboard for both controlling and playing. As was the case with the console Nintendo portable games we could connect an MMC slot, a game, but installing and replacing the game took a long time because we had to first remove the rear body and then remove the battery! The speaker and microphone were positioned on the upper edge, inconvenient during calls. Currently the N-Cage retro-mobile market has around 60 titles developed and released specifically for the N-Gage, as well as dozens of titles that were cancelled. It was born in the year that the PlayStation Portable was also born ( PSP) together with the Game Boy Advance SP, unfortunately, although in 2005, they released the advanced version in N-Gage QD it could not compete with PSP or GBA, both in terms of experience and game release. In the following years many smartphones were born gaming like the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play in 2011, but honestly I still prefer my old N-Cage!  Despite not having been successful in terms of sales, the N-Gage still remains one of the memorable devices, always mentioned in the history of the Finnish telephone company.
