I had completely forgotten about iPod games! I think there was one called Vortex that I liked a lot and there was also game version of the show LOST that I only played because I was a mega-fan of the show that was otherwise very frustrating.

Also a great example of why DRM sucks.

This is taking me back to playing a barely controllable homebrew port of Doom on my jailbroken ipod video.

Oh wow, I totally forgot about doing that as well! I think I spent the better part of a day getting it work, then “played” it for all of two or three minutes.

I remember playing it under Rockbox on some media player. I don't even remember what it was, now, but it was a solid little device.

I wanna say I had sonic 2 installed? And it was about as controllable as you'd imagine with the scrollwheel lol.

I never tried Sonic on the iPod, but I bet it was ridiculous to control!
