Not so long ago, if you said you needed to make a phone call that meant going to the nearest land line phone. The phone could be used for nothing but placing calls and you couldnt take it with you. It wasnt until 1973 that the modern cell phone as we know it was born.

One of the best things about mobile phones is that you can play all sorts of games on them. Originally, they came with just the most basic games. Thanks to some wonderful inventors and technicians out there, we now have java games that have opened a whole new world in mobile gaming.

The most basic java games are strategy games. These are mainly solitary games like Mine Sweeper, Reversi or Bejeweled. There are also card games like solitaire and blackjack. They are fun and familiar to computer users and are a great way to occupy you while you wait for your appointment.

Then you have old favorite two dimensional action games like Pac Man and Galaxian. No more need to go to the arcade or pack your trusty old Atari or Family computer with these games in your phone. They can help take your mind of the long wait for your bus to arrive.

The best of the java games are in 3D. There is quite a variety to choose from. All you need to do is check whats available for your phone model. The next step is to download your chosen adventure.

What is your game? Do you love basketball? Would you like to be out on the green shooting a hole in one but cant because youre stuck at the dentist? If so, then youll love the many java sports games available. Tiger Woods PGA Golf Tours game can be quite a challenge and And1 Streetball will keep you on your toes and keep your mind off the upcoming root canal.

Want to catch some bad guys? Are you a soldier at heart? Then youll love shootem up Java games like Metal Gear and Ghost Recon.

Maybe you just need to get your mind off your worries for a bit. How about playing some simulation games? You can do some Sim Fishing and catch the big one. How about taking a drive? Try out Freestyle Moto-X II or Driver Vegas and see how well you can control the wheel.

Why not go on an adventure just like in your favorite stories. Want to be a sorcerer or an elf? What kind of skills do you possess? Use them in the various role playing games (RPG) like Warhammer 40K or Bogors Castle. Theres no adventure like being around Ancient Ruins or a Forsaken Fortress.

You may even find a java game of your favorite movie or TV shows and be part of the team of Battle Star Galactica or Mission Impossible. Theres even a java game of Miami Vice.

Some of these games even have a multiplayer option so that you can have an adventure with your friends, no matter if they live in your neighborhood or not. Just be careful not to get over enthusiastic and fall out of your seat.
