I have a lot of Siemens and Nokia games and they are not compatible.. too bad really, but i guess if they were universal they�d be twice the size as well.

I suppose it�s possible (i am by no means a programmer) to make a game that contains all possible variables like screen size, resolution and button/key mapping and so on but i think that would make the games unacceptably large. Please correct me if i am out on a limb here, it�s just my theory!
