A brief description of nGame's most popular games follows:

- Alien Fish Exchange is a humorous game wherein players manage a tank of alien fish, a futuristic luxury commodity, which need to be fed and cared for in order to encourage them to breed. The aim of the game is to breed 47 species of alien fish. Alien Fish Exchange currently has more than 270,000 users around the globe.

- Chop Suey Kung Fu is a humorous and rich multiplayer martial arts combat game and since launch over 630,000 sessions have been played. Players can choose to play against named individuals, if they're on-line or against the computer.

- DataClash is a multiplayer card-based combat game set in the cyberpunk world of warring hackers where players try to break through each other's defenses using a selection of combat programs.

- The Bafta award nominated Merchant Princes is a medieval trading game set in Europe. Players take on the role of merchants, bringing cargoes of furs, spices, timber, cloth, fish, or religious relics from far-flung places to the increasingly hungry consumers of Europe. On the way, they must deal with pirates and bandits, and still outwit their rivals to bring in the best goods at the best profits.

- In Dragon Army, a multiplayer, fantasy combat game, your Kingdom is under threat from an invading army. You must call upon your loyal followers to gather together and form an army to battle against your foe.

- In Carrier Force, control of the seas is crucial. Merchant ships transport supplies essential to the war effort across the ocean. Troops are transported to the front by sea. Planes launched from ships can attack targets, normally out of range. To win the war, you must battle for the sea in this multiplayer naval combat game. Craps, Roulette, and Fruit Machine are some of the most realistic wireless versions of the most popular parlor and casino games currently available.
