POLL: First generation N-Gage games
It took some digging, but I think I put together a fairly comprehensive list of N-Gage games that were published by Nokia for the original game deck platform. If I missed any, pop it in the comments!
Note that this list does not include first gen games that have already returned (like Mile High Pinball) or have been announced (like ONE). Nor does it include the many third party games published for the first platform, like Tony Hawk (Activision) or Pocket Kingdom (SEGA). I also didn’t include any games that were never released.
Now with all that out of the way, it’s your turn … vote!

Pathway to Glory was handheld gaming perfection in my eyes, especially the sequel Ikusa Islands, not even the DS has produced anything close!
A new PtG is essential! Glimmerati was another of my favourites, a sequel would be great, would be amazing fun with online races.

This list is OK but a list where THPS doesnt count is a bad one…If in the list were THPS i would vote for that game…the best one of the 1st N-Gage…
August 29th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Hi Ikona, apologies for going kinda off-topic for a moment but.. as a man lucky enough to have both hands firmly massaging N-gage breasticles have u any idea (roughly) when ONE will be released? As i’m sure ur aware it was meant to be released 3 months ago and quite a few of us were wondering as we’ve heard bugger all…
August 29th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
TONY HAWKS PRO SKATER & ASHEN (NEXT) !
August 29th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
THPS , SPLINTER CELL CHAOS THEORY , TOMB RAIDER , GLIMMERATI , ASHEN , COLIN MCRAE RALLY
August 29th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Rifts! I would absolutely LOVE to see a remake of that game for the new N-Gage!
August 29th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
I think there should be more first person shooter games on next gen ngage like thre was Call of duty, splinter cell chaos theory, operation shadow. Bt there r only two on nxt gen i.e., Brothers in Arms and Mgs. I wl prefer the sequel of Call of duty. And also if thre would be a new WWE title, that also wl do a great job on Nxt gen.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
please tell me when ngage support for n73 and n93 is comming..
August 29th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Snakes (with bluetooth multiplayer) should have been an option. I know that original Snakes has been ported to 3rd edition and comes pre-installed with many handsets, but the multiplayer option is lacking. And Snakes Subsonic was no follow up to Snakes, so, Snakes will get my vote. And from this list, Glimmerati.
August 29th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
hi, Anubhav (you will never get a staight answer) they been avoiding that tropic for 8 months.
August 29th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
hi ikona, for me it should be high seize and ashen. Also ptg is a very good game. Those 3 i hope to see soon on my n81 and n-gage
August 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
definately glimmerati. We need a decent racing game. Any1 got any idea if asphalt 4 and assassins creed coming 2 n-gage?
August 29th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Um, do one for non-Nokia games too, maybe? It’d be interesting to see those results as well.
August 30th, 2008 at 1:34 am
Hey RobG, that’s borderline obscene! ONE is definitely in the works and coming out this year. I say anything more, I could be fired, and we don’t want that, do we?
I didn’t include third party games because there were so many, the list would just be too long. Check out the three pages of archived games in the forums if you don’t believe it.
Oh yeah, I agree with Tetlee. Pathway to Glory was in my opinion the best first generation N-Gage game for multiplayer. Rifts was the best single player game.
August 30th, 2008 at 5:00 am
I wanna a loooong ass RPG that’ll make me emmensly happy… If I’m not mistaken Roots was a RPG right?
August 30th, 2008 at 5:21 am
I love : PATHWAY TO GLORY, REQUEM OF HELL and OPERATION RHADOW
August 30th, 2008 at 6:20 am
Pathway to Glory (either), Rifts: Promise of Power, The Roots: Gates of Chaos, High Seize, Glimmerati were all amazing games and it would be great if all of them came back to the new N-Gage. I’m particulary fond of the RedLynx titles, they were amazing.
August 30th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Elder Scrolls: Shadowkey OF COURSE!!!!!

We MUST have a new Rifts game! A good sinlge player RPG with 100 hours of gameplay is what we need! And what made RIFTS great wasnt just the immersive single player expirience, but you could grab your characters and play in online duels! RIFTS was the BEST first gen N-Gage game! We NEED a WORTHY sequel! Good thing it’s a first party title, there hasn’t yet been a low qualaty first party title on next gen. (”Published by Nokia”)
Anyways, RIFTS FTW!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and about the online system, it was one of the best, although it confused a lot of people.
August 30th, 2008 at 9:02 am
oh yeah, and RIFTS control scheme would fit PERFECTLY on an N81 in landscape! D-Pad, OK, Cancel and menu. What else you need for a turn based RPG?
August 30th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Ikona, I don’t think Gates of Chaos is a Nokia game, I think it was published by Cenega.
“Um, do one for non-Nokia games too, maybe? It’d be interesting to see those results as well.”
It might be interesting, but there’s nothing Nokia can do about third party games because by definition they don’t own the rights to non-Nokia games.
At least with Nokia games there’s a real chance Nokia could decide to re-release them for next gen or make sequels.
August 30th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
You’re probably right about Cenega Tzer2, but some games were co-published by Nokia and another partner, which kind of blurs the line between first party and third party games. Call ‘em second party!
August 30th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
IKONA the “add Portuguese iniciative” is already in 4th place in the uservoice if you want to know…Cheers!
August 30th, 2008 at 11:47 pm

August 31st, 2008 at 1:27 am
Someone actually voted hinterwars?
August 31st, 2008 at 3:22 am
There’s something strange with the Ashen & The Roots votes. I’ve been following this poll quite closely since it opened and those two games both recived a fair chunk of votes in a very short period of time (especially Ashen).
It seems to me that some people asked their friends to mass vote on some specific title or something.
August 31st, 2008 at 6:21 am
Pathway to Glory! It was the best game on N-Gage i’ve ever seen..
About ONE: Thanks for some information.
August 31st, 2008 at 8:53 am
But the question is: will they actually bring the most voted game into next gen goodness ?
August 31st, 2008 at 9:57 am
Kazu, I’d be somewhat amazed if there was a hardcore group of Ashen or Roots fans who somehow managed to hold together for more than a year or two after the game came out.
August 31st, 2008 at 10:03 am
Add mario, please!
August 31st, 2008 at 10:21 am
dont know much 1st generation titles but i am waiting for a mmorpg like for eg a reworked advanced version of tibiame. Alot of people were expecting reset generation to be this kind of game. But that wasn’t to be. I would really love this type of game. And while i expect it i dont expect it anytime soon.
August 31st, 2008 at 11:07 am
“You’re probably right about Cenega Tzer2, but some games were co-published by Nokia and another partner, which kind of blurs the line between first party and third party games.”
Ahaa… It’s hard for us on the outside to tell this is happening behind the scenes, we just have the logo on the box to go on.
I voted for Rifts BTW, hope you do get that back for the next gen as I don’t think it got the exposure it deserved first time round.
Rifts was incidentally the best-scoring original gen game ever on AAN (and still is better-scoring than any next gen game so far, though Reset Gen came very close).
August 31st, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Absolutely Ashen! That was the best game on original N-Gage, period!
August 31st, 2008 at 12:21 pm
No hardcore group. More like a few guys telling all their MSN friends or whatever (who most likely aren’t N-Gage fans) to vote for them.
Both Ashen and Roots increased their amounts of votes tremendously (about 30-40%) in less than a hour. There could be a perfectly valid explaination for that, but looked fishy to me.
August 31st, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Omg, plz, return The Roots Gates Of Chaos, THPS…
August 31st, 2008 at 3:09 pm
*ASHEN* & *Pathway to Glory* please.thanx.
August 31st, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Glimmerati!!!!! i loved that game
August 31st, 2008 at 9:17 pm
I want Tony Hawk, The Roots:Gates of Chaos, Tomb Rider, Ashen, High Sieze, Pathway To Glory, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, …
September 1st, 2008 at 8:02 am
Why is this poll here anyway?
September 1st, 2008 at 8:04 am
also, Shadowspawn, Snakes Subsonic was published by Nokia and it’s “quality” is just disgusting.
September 1st, 2008 at 10:14 am
THPS!!!
September 1st, 2008 at 10:53 am
FOr sure we need pathway to glory, high seize & Thps for nextgen. also when is wwp Releasing?
September 1st, 2008 at 9:03 pm
THPS, SPLINTER CELL, GLIMMERATI, COLIN MCRAE RALLY, ASHEN
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:15 am
@ NEo… No not only the most voted but they should re-release the top 4 with updated graphics or sequels HAHA. I wish *tear*
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:22 am
Ikona, I take your word that ONE will be published “this year”. Therefore, I guess we “only” have a maximum of 4 more months of waiting :-P. As for this list: Ashen (great game IMO) and Glimmerati.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:29 am
hey whats that? 5320 xp support is there and none for the n93i? thats lame :[
September 4th, 2008 at 1:28 am
I for one, don’t post much on the forums, and i AM a ashen fan actually! would love a 2.0 version of that, and Rifts obviously
September 4th, 2008 at 1:54 am
I would love to see Sprits on the new N-gage!
September 4th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Rifts and Roots ! Best N-gage classic games ever !!! bring them back pls
September 9th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
To compete with Nintendo DS & Sony PSP, Pathway to Glory is a must!
September 14th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Requiem of Hell！！！！！！asian need more rpg games.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:09 am
Glimmerati rules!!!!!!!!!
January 17th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Why there’s no tony hawk in the pool to vote for.
TONY HAWK IS THE BEST GAME. I realy want to play tony hawk and so i went buy symbian phone. But then i realize that tony hawk is just for S60v1/2 i was realy disapointed. So plis bring TONY HAWK to n-gage 2.0
February 25th, 2009 at 1:50 am
i wonder… THPS with 2 game key? i think it can’t, thps need at least 4 game key like in old n-gage, but if thps really out for n-gage 2.0, maybe we can’t play in landscape mode… even in portrait mode it will be really hard to play…
sorry for my bad english
April 27th, 2009 at 4:15 am
Bomberman - the best game in the N-gage QD
