[nokiamod]

SmarTone and Nokia announced the launch of the first massively multiplayer online role-playing java game on mobile, Pocket Kingdom. Pocket Kingdom, supported by the Nokia SNAP Mobile platform, enables customers to use their guile to conquer the world. Three new casual, broad-appeal games including Reversi, Lose Your Marbles and Blackjack will also be made available to SmarTone customers. Five others including Poker, Maze, Blocks, Penalty Kicks and Backgammon will be introduced shortly. All of these online Java games created for the SNAP Mobile platform are supported by three handset models, the Nokia 7610 imaging phone, the Nokia 6630 3G smartphone and Sharp's GX32. More Nokia and non-Nokia models will be added to the list during the next six months.
Sega Mobile, one of the earliest game developers to design games for the SNAP Mobile platform, specializes in rich mobile content. Hiroshi Okamoto, Mobile Chief Producer of Sega Mobile, commented, "SNAP Mobile enabled us to focus on great game development, not the technology. Pocket Kingdom, which consists of over 40 fantasy units and over 130 possible item combinations, allows hundreds of game fans to interact with each other at the same time. They do not have to chain themselves to a desktop computer to get in on the action and fight with a real enemy." Pocket Kingdom and the other new online Java games will be available exclusively to SmarTone customers in Hong Kong for a limited period of time. Customers subscribing to this online Java community service can enjoy unlimited casual multiplayer game play playing Reversi, Lose Your Marbles, and Blackjack for HK$20 per month, with an additional one-time fee of HK$32 during the promotion to download Sega Mobile's Pocket Kingdom.
