I thought I would do something a little different with today's guide. So many people now, myself included, carry an iPhone or iPod touch with them throughout the day. The great thing is with the new App store on iTunes a ton of old classic titles have now been reintroduced for these mobile devices. Sometimes these games even come with a new coat of paint sort of speak. So without further ado lets look at what's available.1: Abuse Classic
Abuse looks to be a faithful port with the necessary exception of touch control being added to support the iPhone and iPod's unique user interface.
2: Duke Nukem 3D
Duke Nukem is one of the best FPS games of the 90's so this game should be a no brainier. However some users are complaining of difficult controls. Thankfully the publisher has promised to fix this with the next free software update.
3. Flashback
Another classic game that looks to be pretty well received on iTunes App store.
4: Flight of the Amazon Queen
A Classic adventure game and one that should translate well to touch screen controls.
5: Myst
This looks like to be a straight port of the original (is that a bad thing?). The only downside for some is the game weighs in at over 500 MB of your portable drive space.
6: The Oregon Trail
Even as a re-imagining of the original this edition of The Oregon Trail looks great. It's been #1 on this site for a long time for a good reason and seems to be just as popular on iTunes.
7: The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
This game is especially noteworthy not just because it's an all time classic but because it's been faithfully updated by LucasArts. You can even switch between the original version or the new one with just the swipe of two fingers on the display.
8: SimCity
Another great game that has been remade for the iPhone with well thought out touch controls.
9: Simon the Sorcerer
Another adventure game that is perfect for the touch screen interface.
10: Wolfenstein 3D Classic
This is an excellent FPS port on the iPhone, probably one of the best. Although I will always prefer a mouse and keyboard it's got the advantage of portability on its side.
