But also like MMS the first generation of handsets that can play something more engaging than Snake, have color screens and support java are priced out of reach for the target audience, kids. Due to the limited market for color-game capable handsets and high costs of downloadable games, the initial market is adults who need to kill some time. So it’s no surprise that many of the first games slated for release are 80’s arcade hits.
