10 Classic Keypad Phone Games

What did people do before smartphones existed? Everyone has wondered this at least once. Old-school phones with 2-3 simple games built in are one of the best parts of our childhood. Let's take a look together at the games we used to line up to play and fight with our siblings over. Here they are, the old keypad phone games:

Old Keypad Phone Games 2022

Nokia 5110 - Snake

The king of phone games. Today's phone games owe their existence to this game. A game where everyone fought a relentless battle over who could get the highest score. If you put this game in front of a 25-30 year old man today, right next to a PS5, his hand will still reach for this game without thinking.

Nokia 3310 - Space Impact

Up for jumping from adventure to adventure with a spaceship? People whose high school years were spent on this game know its charm well. There's a special thrill to secretly playing it in the back row without getting caught by the teacher.

Nokia 3310 - Snake 2

An updated version of the regular Snake game. As you passed from wall to wall, every 5 pellets an extra bonus point item would appear. A game that added even more fun to the fun.

Nokia 3310 - Bantumi

We've never in our lives met anyone who understood this game. Everyone tried to play it, but even they had no idea what they were doing. Those who played it and actually understood it are probably at the peak of their academic careers by now.

Ericsson T28 - Tetris

We all know Tetris, we're all familiar with it. But playing it on a phone was a different kind of fun. Also, you had to hold the phone sideways to play it on this one. They may well have stolen the idea of screen rotation on today's smartphones from the Ericsson T28.

Siemens C45 - Stack Attack

A game based on boxes falling from above that you had to move. One of the few games that could rival Nokia's games.

Siemens C45 -Battlemail

A strange fighting game. This one was also a bit hard to understand, but it was good for passing the time as a classic fighting game.

Nokia 3410 - Bumper

Nokia's phone adaptation of pinball. It had nothing to envy about Snake or Space Impact.

Nokia 7250 - Bounce

I think this was the first Bounce game. We got to know the little red ball through this phone. We'd try to complete the level by getting it through the rings. I think there's a new version on the Play Store now, but does it capture the old feel? That's the question.

Nokia 7210 - Triple Pop

You could call it the ancestor of Candy Crush. We'd line up tiles of the same color next to each other to pop them. Of course, it wasn't chosen as often while Bounce was around.
