9720 Games - Blackberry

Gameloft’s masterpiece runs surprisingly well on the 9720. You race exotic cars using the trackpad for steering and the keyboard for nitro/brakes. The frame rate is stable, and the 3D graphics are a marvel for such an old device.

The biggest hurdle for any BlackBerry 9720 owner today is distribution. BlackBerry World (the official app store) was shut down years ago. You cannot simply search and download anymore. However, the .COD and .JAD file formats (BlackBerry’s native installers) live on in internet archives.

One of the most beloved tower defense games of all time made its way to OS 7. The experience on the 9720 was fantastic.

1. BrickBreaker (The GOAT) You cannot write about BlackBerry gaming without mentioning this legend. It came pre-installed on almost every OS 6/7 device. The objective is simple: bounce a ball off a paddle to break bricks. However, the physics are addictive, and the "multi-ball" power-up is still one of the most satisfying sounds in gaming. Verdict: Essential. The biggest hurdle for any BlackBerry 9720 owner

2. Word Mole If you love Scrabble but wish it had a plot, this is for you. You dig through dirt to find letters and form words before the timer runs out. The 9720’s physical keyboard makes typing words lightning fast. It is the perfect time-killer for subway rides or waiting rooms.

3. Bejeweled (EA Mobile) The original match-three gem. PopCap’s port to the BlackBerry was surprisingly smooth. Using the trackpad to swap gems is far more precise than using a fat finger on an iPhone. The "Endless" mode will drain your battery before it drains your fun.

Yes, a fully 3D racing game runs on the 9720. EA Mobile ported Undercover specifically for the Bold series. The graphics are low-poly by today’s standards, but the frame rate is rock solid. You steer using the trackpad (left/right to turn, up to accelerate), which offers analog-like sensitivity. Unlike tilt controls on an iPhone, you never lose your balance playing this on the bus.
