Guess which video game won the “most played videogame of all time” title? No, it’s not Tetris – it’s Snake, which was featured on various Nokia phones since the model 5110 (or maybe earlier, I’m not sure).
Apparently, Snake has been played by an estimated 1 billion people over the years, deserving its place in the Guinness World Records 2010 Gamer’s Edition.
This news shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that Nokia has a massive share of the mobile phone market and that even some of the lowest-end phones sold today come with Snake.
Kudos to Nokia for taking part in shaping the mobile gaming market. iPhone got it to the next level, gotta admit…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
