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]
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]
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]
Missile Command is familiar to many people. To get this game you have
to download ‘Atari’s Greatest Hits’ and you’ll be able to play Missile
Command for free. Although there are many other classic arcade games to
play, they require in app purchase. You use a joystick to control the
on-screen cursor with one thumb, and have 3 buttons to shoot down
incoming missiles. [Free]
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]
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.

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]
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]
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]
