Let me take you back. Not to the movie theaters in 2007, but to something more important: the cramped, pixelated glow of a 2.2-inch LCD screen.
Why "286"? That wasn't a typo. That was the forbidden threshold. Any game over 300KB wouldn’t run on your Sony Ericsson K800i or Nokia N73 without a "Java Heap Overflow." The magic number was —the perfect balance between web swinging and bricking your phone.
You’re not looking for the PS3 version. You’re not looking for the PC port. You are hunting the white whale of mobile gaming: .
Today, you have 4K ray tracing and 120GB downloads. But you don't have the thrill of clearing your phone’s inbox (deleting 300 texts) just to free up 300KB of heap memory.
