This game was supposedly finished, but then cancelled before it officially released almost 20 years ago.
There was a rumor that the game had been sent to a few cell phone providers and accidentally had been released by a smaller number of those providers for a very brief moment.
A dedicated group was able to track down a phone with the game on it and extract it.
A big shout-out to SGOC (Super Gamer Omega Clank) and Emily for all the work they put into making this available for everyone.
pretty cool! thanks for posting it

It very much feels like Going Mobile, which I remember definitely enjoying. I was able to play this a little on my phone using this emulator: https://github.com/nikita36078/J2ME-Loader
For more platforms, there’s SquirrelJME (itself a fork of J2ME-Loader). You can build it yourself or use the retroarch core.
A new DidYouKnowGaming video is imminent.
