Title: iGaming
Post by: fhdz on June 30, 2009, 01:51:16 PM
Since the old iPhone/iPod Touch gaming thread went bye-bye with the old forum, I thought I'd resurrect it here.  What games are you folks playing?  To which upcoming games are you looking forward?

Really?  Are you just not a fan of pick-up-and-play type games, or...?

It's not an indictment of the games for the phone, i'm kept busy enough with music and videos when playing with the iphone so far.

That's fair enough.  Pick-up-and-play games are the only kinds I have time for these days.

It sounded like fun; I can't imagine why that was pulled.

Right now I seem to be getting the most mileage out of WordJong, Gravulous, Galcon, Flight Control, Must.Eat.Birds, Draw Race, Big Top 10, Baseball Slugger, Hit Or Die, Eliss, Isotope, and Star Hogs.  There are some really great pick-up-and-play games on this platform.

question:

My iphone is blocked, I touch the screen but no shit happen.

Should I wait for the battery to run out? Or what can I do?

Oregon Trail? Seriously? I remember playing that on the Macs in my school's computer lab around 1995 or so... :unsure:

I always hated that game because I got slaughtered in fording rivers.

There is a way to reset it, but now with 3.0 I haven't needed it, so I don't know how.

I remember playing it in the mid 80s on the Apple IIs in my school's computer labs.  I had no idea a Mac version even existed...
