10 Incredible Video Games Released On Terrible Consoles

6. Glimmerati (N-Gage)

Nokia's smartphone-cum-gaming handheld attempted to take on the Game Boy Advance, but due to the N-Gage's high cost and unwieldy button layout - catering more for phone calls and less for comfortable gaming - the platform cratered shortly after release and was discontinued barely two years following its launch.

And while the vast majority of the N-Gage's library was pretty lackluster, there sure was something to the deceptively addictive Glimmerati, a top-down racer where the player was charged with giving rides to well-to-do rich folk and rising the ranks in the process.

As a gloriously self-aware satire of the Eurotrash lifestyle, Glimmerati knew exactly what it was and delivered accordingly, while refusing to skimp on simple yet extremely effective core racing mechanics.

In a sea of bland me-too racers, this one actually stood out with its shamelessly daft tone, and is one of the few N-Gage games that actually felt like a rich and complete experience.
