# 📱 N-GAGE Romset — M5 Nostalgia Archive

> **Preserved by [M5-Dev](https://huggingface.co/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.
