📱 N-GAGE Romset — M5 Nostalgia Archive

Preserved by M5-Dev for historical and educational purposes.

The Nokia N-Gage was a combined mobile phone and handheld game console released in 2003. Despite its short lifespan, it had a unique library of games — including several unreleased prototypes that exist nowhere else.

This repository is part of the M5 Nostalgia Archive, dedicated to preserving obscure and forgotten digital media before it disappears forever.
