−
WGE was a mobile game engine designed to support games in C++ and Java can be ported to the WGE platform and can be embedded in the handset, or securely downloaded over the air. <ref>WGE handles the over the air (OTA) safe download of games, security verifications (certificates) and the MMI integration of new titles via TCP/IP over GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA and 3G networks.</ref> WGE does not contain a Virtual Machine and runs the compiled code. As games and applications run faster and require less memory, WGE also provides secure methods for run and download applications. Although it is a little slower than [[Mophun]], but the several API modules make 2D and 3D programming easier (including tile management and collision detection functionalities), allow a simple access to networking functions and good sound support, among other capabilities. LG Electronics and Innostream are the first customers to use games created in the WGE environment on their phones.

TTPCom's WGE also fully supports Symbian and Microsoft Operating Systems. The Wireless Graphics Engine provides a very high level of security with a PKI application provisioning mechanism and manufacturers can enable the download of WGE games via the existing Java OTA download (JSR-118) standards.

The gaming application runs on TTPCom’s revolutionary Wireless Graphics Engine (WGE). G-WGE is one of three applications that run on the WGE platform. The other two applications are M-WGE and J-WGE. M-WGE enables handset manufacturers and developers to rapidly create better looking and more user-friendly ‘man-machine interfaces’ (MMI). J-WGE accelerates standard Java games for a considerably better user experience.

WGE was a mobile gaming platform, it had cellphone based games, which have been lost over time and are extremely hard to find. All games have been lost. If you have an old mobile phones that supports WGE and has the games pre-installed, then you can dump that games somehow.
