December 2002 - Nokia
Game 2002 finished on Friday, 29 November with an exciting
musical finale. This year, the theme was the ins and
outs of the music industry. Players took on the role
of a start-up music band that tries to become famous
as soons as possible and release their first single
via a multimedia message (MMS) to mobile phones. Using
"Fames", the Nokia Game currency, players were able
to buy the necessary Assets, such as Studios, Composers
or PR Agencies, to enable them to become famous. In
addition, several online games gave players the chance
to show off their skills and gain valuable experience
for the final.
"This
year's Nokia Game was a huge success with over one million
players registered. And the collaborative spirit of
previous years was present again, with players connecting,
competing and collaborating to reach the finals, " said
Pekka Rantala, Vice President, Marketing Services, Nokia
Mobile Phones. "A big thank you to all of the players
who took part this year. We hope that they were both
entertained and inspired by their journey into the music
industry."

distributed over the web. In addtion, the UK band Idlewild
rolled a giant set of inflatable dice in locations across
