How to Play a Mobile Game on the Computer

Java Mobile Phone Games

The New Horizon games that we develop for mobile phones are programmed in the computer language Java. All mobile phone games created in Java consist of two files; one .JAR file and one .JAD file. The .JAR file contains the game, and the .JAD file contains information about the game. Both files are required to play the game.

Playing the Game in your Mobile Phone

If you want to play the game in your mobile phone you need to download the game into your mobile phone. This can be done in a few ways:

Uploading the game to a server and then doing out on the internet using your mobile phone, then typing in the address to where the game is found, and after that downloading the game to your mobile phone.
Connecting your mobile phone to your computer using a USB cable and downloading/copying the game into your mobile phone.
Sending the game over to your mobile phone using Bluetooth.

Whichever way you choose to do it, remember that most of the time both Java files must be sent over to your mobile phone; the .JAR and JAD file. However, in some cases only the .JAR file is necessary to send over to your mobile phone.

Playing the Game on your Computer, using a Mobile Phone Emulator

In order to play a mobile phone game on your computer you have to download, install and run a mobile phone emulator. There are several different emulators that you can use. We recommend downloading and using this one:
