MOBILE
For several years I did a lot of wireless mobile development and received quite a lot a positive feedback from people. Most of my games I distribute for free but I have been known to do some commercial work, I developed some Sudoku and Kakuro games for Italian broadsheet the Corriere della Serra and was working one several interesting titles with a startup company that unfortunately never made release.
Feel free to download the games from below and copy to your Java enabled phone or alternatively you can download them directly with http://wap.lostincode.co.uk. Please note that these games are relatively old now so I cannot guarantee they will work properly on all handsets.
