I was watching on Tech TV and they were interviewing a software engineer 
for Sega producing games for the Nokia N gague product.

He stated that writing games for phones and PDAs are not like consoles. The 
smaller screens and memory requirements has forced them to go back and 
look at how games were done long a go. Where the screen size was limited 
and memory was precisous. 

In someways among the unlimited memory and HD screens a lost art of very 
compact and simple games is starting a revival. 

That must make programmers from the early days of computer games kind 
of smile again. 

Kind of "as more things change the more they remain the same"?
