What is RMGP?
The Retro Mobile Gaming Project (RMGP) is a comprehensive archive and research project dedicated to documenting the history and evolution of mobile gaming. The project brings together a curated collection of early mobile games and platforms, handheld devices and related materials from the formative years of portable entertainment.
The RMGP is a repository and reference framework for scholars, developers, and enthusiasts interested in the intersection of mobile gaming and mobile communication technologies. The archive catalogues items according to technical specifications, release year, operating system, and geographic distribution, situating each artifact within its historical and cultural context.
Through its collections, the RMGP highlights the diversity of mobile gaming cultures across regions and time periods, from early text-based games and Java-based applications to pioneering mobile consoles and networked play. The project preserves these materials as sources for scholarly study, cultural analysis, and historical understanding, ensuring that the evolution of mobile gaming remains accessible to future research and education.
