Nokia announced today that hundreds of thousands of players will soon be able to connect through "Space Shooter" (working title) and "Age of Piracy", a massively multi-player online game (MMOG), available on selected Java-enabled cell phones through the Nokia SNAP Mobile service.

Set in the 17th century on the Caribbean Sea, "Age of Piracy" delivers swashbuckling fun in a world of deceit, collaboration, trade and looting on the waters off the shores of the Spanish Main.  And in a mobile game first, "Age of Piracy" debuts a rich European comic graphics style with saturated colors and satirical humor.

"Space Shooter", developed by Monkey Business, is set in a persistent online world where players take part in a massively cooperative, ship-to-ship war against an attacking alien horde.  A live moderator keeps the game fresh by guiding the alien fleets and adding new starbases, alien nests and other challenges.

All online Java games currently created for the Nokia SNAP Mobile platform are supported by Series 60 Java MIDP2.0 capable phones from Nokia and the handset support is broadened shortly to cover further Nokia and non-Nokia handsets.
