 Yes. I am actually using the N-Gage application on my N-95 8GB. After a time period over the course of which Microsoft,Sony and Nintendo have all released next-generation gaming consoles and the iPhone has taken the world by storm, Nokia finally gives us a taste of its next-generation gaming offering.

Installation, though not using the official file provided by Nokia solely for the N81 was a breeze. Movement of the game demos provided for free to the "N-Gage" folder on the N95 was also not a problem. I must say that the interface of the N-Gage application was surprisingly smooth and very visually appealing...enjoy the screenshots below and expect detailed playtests of System Rush: Evolution, Creatures Of The Deep and Space Impact : Kappa Base in the hours to follow.

After a ridiculously long wait, Nokia has finally made a preview version of their new N-Gage application available for download for N81 (both vanilla and 8GB variants). There are three game demos namely Creatures Of The Deep, Space Impact : Kappa Base and System Rush Evolution. available for download right now over at the N-Gage forums. Support for other devices will apparently be added in coming weeks but as of now I am trying to get this to work on my N95 8GB. Stay tuned for more updates!
