In this followup feature, I look at another big batch of J2ME games available through Download! and through third party portals such as ClickGamer .

Even better value (at £3) is this sultry, atmospheric and surprisingly addictive ten pin bowling simulation. Although the 3D in-lane graphics never veer into superlative territory, the general graphics are superb, with lighting effects, characters and plenty of mood.
