Long-time readers may remember we gave Lonely Cat Games' card game Mau Mau quite a positive review, and for those who don't know it's basically Uno played with normal cards. Well, it now appears that the game is available free of charge from LCG's website for all S60 editions and UIQ2 as well. Just download the file from the download page, then head on over to the free unlock code page and use your phone's IMEI.

Read on in the full article.

worked for me on my N93, changed the date to March 24th 08

It's a bit deceiving when the supported devices lists your phone and then one goes to the trouble of downloading, typing in my IMEA number and then it doesn't work.

Nokia: E50, E51, E55, E60, E61, E62, E63, E65, E66, E70, E71, E75, E90, N71, N72, N73, N75, N76, N77, N78, N79, N80, N81, N82, N85, N86, N91, N92, N93, N95, N96, N97, 3250, 5320, 5500, 5630, 5700, 7730, 5800, 6110, 6120, 6124, 6210, 6220, 6290, 6710, 6720

I see 5800 mentioned above, but do not see a S60_5th edition in the zip file.

😞

Sorry about the expired certificate problem, I already had this installed on my N95 from some time ago so it probably wasn't expired back then...

Strange that some people can get it to work by fiddling with the date while others can't?

I see 5800 mentioned above, but do not see a S60_5th edition in the zip file.

Lookatbowen, the S60 third edition version should work on the 5800, though judging from "unregistered" it may not...

I'll alter the news post to take account of these problems. Apologies for not spotting them.

As a previous poster said, I've changed the date to Mar. 24th, 2008 on my N95-4 (8Gb US) and it installed without any problems.

Yep. Changed to 2008 - works fine on N95-1. Shame you 5800ers are missing out - it's lovely!

Cheers Lonely Cat & AAS!!!

Thanks for the comments, I've altered the newspost so it tells people about changing the date to March 2008.

Installed the S60 3rd edition to both my N95-2, and N82, but its not in full screen. Any pointers?

Micky!, I'm afraid there's no way to get it in full screen. LCG's Mau Mau was originally written for 176x208 phones and the QVGA version isn't any higher res. The artwork was done in bitmaps, not vector, so it can't be stretched to a new resolution.

Obviously if they were serious about doing games commercially they'd have done a better QVGA version by now, but LCG abandoned game development years ago in favour of serious applications like Profimail and Smartmovie. Mau Mau is more of a relic of their early days. It's a very good relic though, which is why I newsposted it being available free. 😊
