9 Free Retro Video Games You Can Play on iPhone

Pacific Wings

Back in the day, this game was called ’1941′, where you play a fighter pilot who manoeuvre your plane around enemy fire and shoot their planes down. Nothing has changed in this one; its gameplay and game design look pretty much the same.
You control the plane by moving your finger around the screen collecting powerups that make you shoot more bullets or increase your rate of fire. [Free]

Breakout: Boost

The gameplay is based off Atari’s original ‘Breakout’, released in the mid-70s. The iPhone version has improved graphics and colors, and more walls to break. You control the ‘paddle’ by moving your finger left and right.
This would be a little more interesting than the original game Pong as you have an objective of breaking the bricks, as well as different levels to complete. [Free]

Frogger Free

Someone looking for a challenge, you’re sure to remember playing Frogger; a game where you need a lot of patience, a fast reaction time to dodge cars and perfect timing to reach the other side safely. You control the frog by swiping up, down, left, right on the screen. Some rounds can be easier than others, but rest assured, patience and skill will get you across safely. [Free]

Bubble Shooter – Totally Addictive

Another simple game that will bring back memories. Let’s pop some bubbles! On the iPhone version, you swipe left and right to aim the arrow and swipe up to shoot. Shoot the colored bubbles in clumps of three or more to clear them off the screen. Any bubbles below the point of contact will fall and you win by clearing all the bubbles. The game is over if a bubble reaches the bottom of your screen. [Free]

Tanks! Free

The gameplay and graphics of this game is based on Atari’s ‘Battlezone’ released in 1980, with an added twist. Instead of 3 tank lives, you get a health bar. You control the tank with two joysticks which control the tank’s tracks. It is an interesting and fun way to control the tank. You can also pick up power-ups and health points. [Free]

iCopter Free

A simple game where you pilot a helicopter. Place your finger down on the screen to make the helicopter fly up; releasing your finger makes the helicopter descend towards the floor. The idea is to dodge oncoming obstacles and not fly too high or too low as hitting the roof or floor means the game is over. A tip is to not hold your finger down for too long but rather tap the screen to steady the helicopter. [Free]

Snake ’97

The iconic game of Nokia phones everywhere. Now available on the iPhone too! best of all, ‘Snake’ on the iPhone comes complete with the looks of the old phone minus the touch of the rubber keypads. This game is simple and fast paced, and it’ll give you a rush of adrenalin or leave you frustrated. Either way, you’re bound to keep playing to make the longest snake. [Free]

Ping Pong

This game takes you all the way back to the 70′s. Swipe your fingers up and down to control the paddle, and do not let the ball cross past your the edge of your side of the screen. Some use the walls as bouncing the ball off the walls makes it hard to return it. However, you’re playing against an A.I., so bouncing the ball off the wall might work for your enemy rather than against. [Free]
