15 mai 2007 - Apple IPhone

Description:

The Apple IPhone introduced gaming to hundreds of thousands of mobile users with the App Store. By having games on a mobile phone, a new genre emerged known as casual games, or games that were played when you had some spare time, and nothing like the games on consoles where the player had to run through hordes of enemies or rescue a princess, but rather had relaxing games that were much smaller in comparison. The limitation on phones is that they could not hold enough data to have massive worlds like Halo, therefore smaller and more simpler games ruled the market. There are some examples of games that became incredibly popular and set their own trends, like Clash of Clans. Clash of Clans allowed players to form clans in order to protect each other or declare war on other clans to collect loot to upgrade their defences and resource collectors. Games like these show that phone games can be simple but have the ability to become great.
