How Free Mobile Games Gained Popularity

By Jason Phillips


If you told people two decades ago that they would be going crazy over free mobile games, no one would believe you. Back then, these were considered inconsequential things that were best left to children. Adults who continued to play them were seen as immature and derided for doing so.

Now the children of the 80's and 90's are all grown up. We live in a world where everyone owns at least one of several types of mobile devices. These are often filled to the brim with free mobile games and it is common to see people of all ages enjoying them. The relatively simple classics like Snake, Tetris and Solitaire have been replaced with a new breed of games that are full or color and feature complex game play.

These initially became fashionable in Japan where many consoles and games were developed. The trend quickly spread around the world, reaching Europe and the US. Arcade games were tweaked so that they could fit into a mobile platform. Brainteasers tickled the fancy of people looking for a challenge. Sports-themed games became all the rage among fans of tennis, soccer, baseball, golf, basketball, and even boxing.

Free mobile games have virtually no barrier to entry. They cost zero dollars and they are available 24/7 on the Internet. Anyone with access to a computer can download them in a matter of minutes and have them installed right away on their favorite mobile platform. There's always something new to look forward to which keeps gaming very exciting for enthusiasts.

Somewhat newer games that are seeing a lot of play include Crush the Gems, which is an addictive puzzle game, supported by Java. Perhaps the biggest game to come out in the last few years is Angry Birds. The concept is extremely simple. You control birds and launch them to destroy pigs and buildings. It is easy to learn, but like any great game, requires a bit of practice in order to master. With everybody having mobile devices, and looking for something to do in their spare time, it is clear free mobile games are not going anywhere. If anything, we will have even more of them to look forward to in the future.
