Essentially, Gameloft Classics 20 Years is an emulator that plays old java games. The company has given it a retro-device like interface, like a handheld gaming console. The top portion of the screen displays the game, the reason this is small is because these games were originally developed for small screen phones in the 2000s.

They won’t scale well on our modern phone displays. And also, these games used the phone’s keypad for the controls. The emulator has been designed to be used with touchscreens and features a virtual D-pad, X, Y, A and B keys. There are L and R buttons along with a pause and play button. The three lines on the bottom is a fake speaker look, to complement the retro feel of the emulator. The controls are slightly odd, but once you get used to it, you may enjoy the games.
