Retro Mobile Gaming Project

The RMGP serves as a valuable resource for studying the history and impact of mobile games over several decades. It provides insights into the evolution of mobile gaming technology, design principles, and cultural significance. To facilitate research and education about the history of mobile games, the RGMP features multiple experiences. Central to this project is an online, searchable database that provides detailed information about games from 1975-2008. In addition to the database, the project includes a robust collection of educational resources tailored for instructors. These materials are designed to integrate learning about media history, game history, and digital cultures. The RGMP also boasts a collection of mobile gaming materials, housed at the Center for Transformative Media, which include gaming devices, carteridges, and similar memorabilia.
