    I enjoy http://forum.nokia.com, it doesn't have particuarly *good* games for download but the programming principals covered in some of their documents cover are excellent e.g. usage of resources etc.

    Other than that google for opensource 'midlets', should turn up loads and loads of code for you.

    google is your friend. Look for...

    "open source" midlets

    example:
    http://www.codebeach.com/index.asp?TabID=1&CategoryID=4&SubcategoryID=73

    I doubt very much there will be a lot of sites that will display source code with the games (at least the good games) but 90% of the games I have seen so far use pretty much the basic game engine (or variations there of) that is built into J2ME.

    Read up on the game API in MIDP2.0, its pretty much all you need to get going (assuming you know how to code)
