Check the .jar file size. A standard Java game is 400kb to 800kb. A 640x360 exclusive game with high-res assets is often 1.2 MB to 2.5 MB. If the file is small, it is fake.

| Factor | Explanation | |--------|-------------| | iPhone / Android rise | 2008–2011: capacitive touch, app stores, OpenGL ES 2.0 made Java ME obsolete. | | Fragmentation | No standard – Nokia’s 640x360 differed from Sony Ericsson’s (different touch drivers, keymaps). | | Low developer ROI | Porting from QVGA to 640x360 cost extra QA time, but users expected free/cheap games. | | Carrier control | Verizon, AT&T locked Java games behind $6–10 paywalls, killing impulse buys. | | N-Gage 2.0 failure | Nokia’s attempt to revive mobile gaming with 640x360 exclusives flopped; platform closed in 2010. |
By 2012, even Nokia abandoned Java for Symbian Anna/Belle, and then Windows Phone.
