Can you believe this was a thing…

I think we can easily assume that The Elder Scrolls Travels is one of the earliest examples of games on cellphones… way back in 2003 they were pushing out this horrible looking game. How you’d play it on the cellphones of the day is beyond me. What, press 8 to move backwards and 2 to go forward? 1 to hit monsters?? 3 to switch weapons??? HOW IS THAT ENJOYABLE?????

Anyways, I suppose this will be a forgotten piece of gaming history.
