@homerghost @fgasking SO is an abbreviation for Sony Ericsson, which was the manufacturer of the SO902i. Preloaded games on Sony Ericsson i-mode phones often used this suffix:

"Misato-san! Beer!" (みさとさん!ビール!) was an Evangelion-themed keitai game released in 2004. You control Misato as she tries to catch beer off of conveyor belts. The more beer you spill, the angrier Gendo gets! This game, like most Evangelion keitai games, is lost to time.

Here's a neat discovery by @XLeonier: the recently-preserved Lost Planet i-mode game contains code for a TGS kiosk demo, presumably for TGS 2008 (left image). If you set GAME_MODE_TGS=1, the game disables most of the main menu and only lets you play stage 1. Pretty cool!

Lost Planet for SH, a preloaded game on the SH-01A, was preserved by @unabandonware! It has fully 3D gameplay, and it supports both vertical and horizontal screen styles. Unfortunately, the game has major frame and sound issues on the Star 2.0 SDK emulator (left video).

@digoalorlandi Thank you for the kind words! Spreading awareness in addition to preservation has always been part of my goal, so it always makes my day when someone discovers the realm of keitai games through my posts 🙌

It's great to see official acknowledgement of keitai gaming history! Hopefully Sega will rerelease these, perhaps through a collaboration with G-MODE. Despite his popularity, we've only preserved a handful of Sonic keitai games (Sonic Golf and Sonic Daifugo being two of them).

T9 Typing Mickey, a Disney keitai game, was preserved by Cuebus! One of the first Disney keitai games to be preserved, the game teaches you how to type faster on your phone's keypad using T9 predictive text. Your goal is to help Mickey find his friends after being shipwrecked.

This phone unfortunately works horribly in low light, so these concert pictures will be positively awful 😆
The P900iV (aka Cloud's cell phone) is such a cool keitai! Here's an overview of its many features, from its different form factors to applications.

@chaoseraphim Wait until you hear about the P901iS... it's got a full preloaded FF2 port. Unfortunately they didn't continue this trend after that...
