Remember Snake? Well, who doesn't? It was one of the very first games one could play on a cell phone, and along with other titles, it paved the way for what has now become a multi-million dollar industry of mobile gaming. Nowadays, it is mainly smartphones and tablets that developers make games for, but some feature phones can also be used to waste some time by playing Angry Birds.
