While Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In was a foundational tactical first-person shooter for PC, there was never an official Java mobile version developed by the original studio, Innerloop Studios, or its publisher, Eidos Interactive.

Story:
For anyone who grew up gaming on a PC in the early 2000s, Project IGI (I'm Going In) is a legendary title. It was known for its massive open levels, unforgiving difficulty, and the iconic protagonist, David Jones. Bringing such an ambitious tactical shooter to Java mobile phones (J2ME) was always going to be a tall order. The mobile version, published by Indiagames, doesn’t quite capture the sprawling magic of the PC original, but it stands as a decent, entertaining shooter for the button-mashing generation.
