    My little sister bought 400 dollars worth of “Smurf berries” and that’s when my mom realized for the first time ever that these mobile games dont need your credit card pin. I remember her calling the bank that day so stressed.

      OH MY GOD
      My baby brother (at the time) bought 1000+ Smurf Berries with my dad’s card but because the app was brand new (it came out THAT exact day) they gave them a complete refund :)

    You sharing your Hollister story compelled me to share mine. I went with my brother to pick up dinner for my family at Popeyes. They were busy so they had us wait in the parking lot. I had my phone audio hooked up to the radio and was showing my brother an assortment of YuGiOh memes. And I was trying to get this Duke Devlin meme to load but it wouldn't. So I was just staring at my phone when the Popeyes worker came over with the food. My brother rolled down the window to take it just as the meme loaded and the speakers blasted "I'M BRINGING SEXY BACK!" as soon as the window came down. There was a lot of staring and laughing.

      I hope you mean Java games, they were true gems with no ads and micro transactions. That's something that a girl in a video forgot - older phones had thousands of apps or games but they didn't had store (well later Symbian had).
      TrackID was Shazam of the era, Gameloft games were so deep and story driven (basically nothing can still get on that level of story telling), you had great Sims ports and other games from EA too (back when EA was great).
      When I got my first touchscreen phone I was sad that games were shallow suddenly (I mean look at games like Doodle Jump, Paper Toss, Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja...they are the same all the time). It just got worse with ads and micro transactions and greed of devs. Yes, there are some ports of PC games or fuly fledged games but they are only few and far between.

    I was only like, 8 when I played it, but I've recently gone back and revisited it. I had no idea that thing had so many meme references. Like, it's not just the Double Rainbow. There's a character who's entire purpose is to spout Charlie Sheen quotes, a story line centered around mocking Tom Cruise and Scientology, a lot of the quests and hints directly reference internet culture of the time. As someone who's fascinated with the evolution of online culture, Pocket God is an incredible time capsule of the internet of the late 2000s and early 2010s, and a connection to that era I didn't even realize I had.

    I like how mobile game quality standard is now higher but it's so much harder to find a game that genuinely wants you to play it for fun rather than fomo. I really struggle finding healthy mobile games nowadays (not like it was any better back then).
    Also is it fair to call Cut the Rope a console game if it had releases on Nintendo consoles? Btw I LOVED that franchise as a kid, I've made and drawn multiple pieces of him back then. He's just too cute, I need to get that Om Nom plushie someday to fuel my old nostalgia (also C.A.T.S, Thief King? and that Jelly game by the same company are awesome, probably why I love puzzle games nowadays).

    When I think of mobile games, the one that always comes to mind is Minecraft. Nowadays, Minecraft on mobile is just like PC or consoles, but back then it was this stripped down, tantalizing taste of what the proper version of the game was like. It was terrible, but it was the only version of Minecraft I had access to, so I played it. Sometimes I wish I could play that unfinished mess of a port again, just for the memories.

      Mojang has tried really hard to make Minecraft Pocket Edition/Pocket Edition Lite unavailable to consumers, but you can still sail the high seas for it and emulate it today

    The old IOS wallpaper as the background is a nice touch to the video. It is such a shame that a lot just don’t work anymore. Some of my favorites were Zombie farm, Earth Vs Moon and the OG Minecraft pocket edition (like before it even had crafting)

    "Everybody Dance Now" was unironically my best friend's ringtone for years. I was a sophisticated 16-year-old, however. 11-year-olds are embarrassed by anything.

    This video made me so nostalgic, my friends and I used to be obsessed with Juicy Fruit Sweet Talk and I had totally forgotten about it. I’d put those apps with a bunch of push buttons that said different phrases and sound effects in the same category

    Love this vid. Hit me right on the nostalgia nerve. I remember not having enough money for my own laptop or iPhone at the time so I saved up for that sweet second gen iPod Touch- which was surprisingly cheap for basically being an iPhone without camera or call function. The iPod let me keep in touch with the internet whilst in my own room and not at our family PC.
    I had bookmarked a website that would list free weekly apps so I would always have something to toy around with when not watching One Piece in 360p at some sketchy website

    The part at the end about new mobile games!! why do they look so complicated now, especially considering that they’re still meant for kids? I got the new Bloons game recently and it’s just one of many examples of games where there are just so many different things to click on right when you open the app that I don’t even want to learn how to play. It’s so frustrating to me

    I remember a phase me and some of the kids in my class had with Pou! We all got them around the same time and we all kept like asking about each other's and reminding each other to feed them. With kid time it feels like it lasted a long time but I bet it was only about a month we all cared for them.

    Omg my favorite golden age game was 100% Fluff Friends Rescue. It was arguably the BEST pet care game where you took in sick and dirty pets, clean them up and care for them, and then put them up for adoption in a rescue you can actively make and decorate to your liking. And then you see people come in and look and eventually adopt your pets. It was SO good and I miss it so much. I really wish it was archived properly to play somehow again cause I really do miss it and sometimes look to see if files were ever found but there’s never anything. But there’s a niche community who also loved that game and still look for files if possible. I would be incredibly happy if it ever resurfaces again.

    Yesss! I get nostalgia for the summer of 2008 when I first got a first gen IPod touch (which I still own to this day) and when the App Store first came out. Lots of fun with stupid sound effects, pretending to drink beer, bubble wrap apps, internet radio apps, apps where you would break windows and mirrors and stuff, all those simple novelties.

  • @c1arebear
    @c1arebear 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    this brings back so many memories. I also loved the waterslide game where you would slide down a waterslide and collect coins, shave me, emily's girl world, the lightsaber app, cube runner, tiny wings, and doodle buddy, icarly sam's remote, driver, jelly car, topple, bubble wrap and ninjump!!

I did also play a ton of the toca boca/kairosoft games!
