The game server executes a software application which runs a game center. Individual games are managed within the context of this application. In the presently preferred embodiment, the games are text based. A command set is provided for each state of the within the game. The choice of a command from the command set changes the game state. The choice of commands can be made either through a reduced keyboard, like that of a mobile station, or through voice commands.
