Sims 2 castaway ? I have more than 1000 flip phone games installed on my Android phone. It's like 2 gigs only. I'd rather play these games than most Android garbage games and there are a lot of genuine gems despite the archaic controls.

no wasn't that one, i'm talking about a crappy mobile java game

but now that you mentioned sims 2 castaway tho i'm legally obligated to mention it's my favorite sims game (at least the ps2 version), it's so weird compared to the rest of the series

Sims 2 castaway had a java game port and it wasn't really good:

There wasn't many castaway games so it could it be any of these :

Welcome. If you want to replay it I have replied to someone above with how to properly play these games and where to download them. I also greatly recommend trying doom rpg 2, wolfenstein rpg and the crazy penguins games.

Where did you get all the games? This sounds interesting, I've never really considered those old flip phone games but it might be fun

If you want to play these games use j2me loader. I highly recommend changing the default keyboard layout.

The best resolution to play these games is 240x320 (with the flipphone keyboard ).

Recommended games : the tower Bloxx serie, the nights série , wolfenstein rpg, crazy penguin serie, shadowalker, tiki towers 1 and 2, California Gold Rush Bonanza,Ninja Prophecy, Diamond Rush,Death Trap 2,Blade Knight Tactics Two Cities, Age of Heroes serie, gish, Castle of Magic, Crash Titans, Crash Mutant Island...and many more.

any game made by digital chocolate, Gameloft, GLU, THQ, EA, connect2media...

And 360x640 ( for tactile ) : doom rpg 2, mosaic box

For 240x320 always choose the k800i varient ( best graphics and audio quality and best compatibility ) or if not available choose any Nokia varient ( acceptable quality and excellent compatibility ), the other varients aren't great and will likely lag or sound and look horrible. A rule of thumb is that the bigger the file size the better, most of the times. For tactile games use any 360x640 varient.
