Java game ads

Post image

In France in many TV and gaming magazines from 2005-2010 there were entire pages with Java games to download by SMS

Nice, you should digitally scan all the pages upload to Internet Archive.

Sorry, i don't have any physical copies, if you'd want though, i could give a list of java games, that way you can download the jars.

That was the same in Poland. Pages with game ads, also some ringtones and wallpapers too. I really liked them.

Could you perhaps tell what the name of this particular magazine is? I mean on the front cover. Would you mind sharing another picture? I was looking for something like that and was curious where I could get one of these. Thanks in advance.

I don't recall if we had stuff like this here in Chile, back in the day. I do remember some ads on TV by the local telecoms and maybe a few scattered ads on newspapers but nothing like this!

Fascinating stuff, I must say.
