History of video games/Platforms/Fire Phone

Development
The Fire Phone was developed at Amazon's Lab126.

The phone was said to have been designed to compete with premium phones, such as the Apple iPhone.

Launch
The Fire Phone launched in 2014.

At launch the phone cost $199 US Dollars.

Around the launch of the device Time magazine noted that, while by no means a dedicated gaming device, the Fire Phone's 3D display nonetheless had unexplored gaming applications which were not being explored by the gaming demonstration used by the company. The publication Gamezebo held a similar sentiment, questioning if the capability would be used beyond as a gimmick.

Legacy
By September 8, 2015 the Fire Phone was no longer available to purchase directly from Amazon. After the device was discontinued, some former exclusive game titles for the Fire Phone were allowed to be ported to iOS.

Because the Fire Phone failed to catch on in the market, and because over 170 million US dollars of inventory were written off shortly after luanch, the Fire Phone is commonly considered to be a commercial failure.

Hardware
A camera system was used to simulate a 3D effect on the phone screen.

Software
The smartphone ran Fire OS version 3.5, a derivative of Android.

Tofu Fury
A platformer that used the head tracking technology of the smartphone to allow for perspective shifts. The third of a series of games released for Android and iOS smartphones.
