Question
I have Nokia N86,
About year ago I bought a few games, including worms
I update my phone software, Now, I cannot find place to download ngage games
What happened to ngage games? Where can I find or download them?
Answer
So, by the time I started working for Nokia in 2008, NGage was already a disappointment to the company and it's future was questionable. By that time Nokia had already had a lot of issues with Symbian and it was (in my personal opinion) unmanageable. The corporate philosophy was even that Nokia wanted to move away from phones to becoming more of a service oriented company. The issue with Symbian at the time was the large disconnect between development and deployment. While we could all design applications for the Symbian getting them to run on actual hardware was a nightmare. They actually kept an entire "Symbian Team" on site to help use get our software to run on actual phones. What's more the Symbian external developer community was not like the iPhone one (which had literally sprung up over night).
Personally, I didn't last a year before I left the company. It seemed like a nice place to work, but they were fighting a losing battle.
Nokia would latter announce, November 2009, that it would end support for the NGage in September 2010 [citation]. You can still find games on Nokia's Ovi Store and on some of the shadier sides of the internet (I won't link you, but I'm sure you can find them).
