I couldn’t find a thread for iOS games so I figured I’d start one. I rarely play games on my phone myself, but I spent some time today checking out pinball games and have some recommendations (including two non pinball games) and two anti-recommendation. I don’t recommend The Pinball Wizard, a game I should love. It’s a fusion of dungeon crawler and pinball, and it’s so close to being good. The art style is cute, the enemies are interesting, and the tradeoffs in approaching levels are somewhat thoughtful. Because the titular wizard is running after being hit by the flippers, the game feel is just off. The game seems to recognize this by giving you all kinds of bullet time options to mitigate the fact that it does not work as pinball, but you have to grind for an hour plus to get far enough to do so, and it doesn’t make it more of a pinball game, it makes it more of an Angry Birds game. Some may enjoy it, as there is a lot that’s good here, and it’s free with Arcade subscription, but it’s not for me. Inks is also not a winner for me. It’s “pinball inspired”: and while it looks nice it is just too vacuous and empty for me to stick with. Okay, on to the positives, starting with pinball. I wasn’t sure what to make of Pinball Deluxe Reloaded when I first looked at it, but it is a very solid 2D pinball game in the tradition of Epic Pinball. It plays VERY well and some of the tables are fantastic. It also has a brilliant pinball-Breakout fusion game and a decent Bagatelle table. It is also on Android and Steam. If you miss 2D pinball, give it a try on whatever platform you can. On the other end of the pinball spectrum is an endless (?) climber game that plays… middling. The physics, particularly for the flippers, are terrible. But you can get the hang of how they behave even if it’s wrong, and the audiovisual experience is amazing. The visuals are Tron neon ripoffs done very well, and the synthwave soundtrack is good enough I’d buy it on physical media. There are even real songs with vocals! The next game, Konami Pixel Puzzle Collection, is a traditional Picross/nonogram puzzle game featuring Konami artwork and more importantly music. @Tanooki turned me this summer/fall and it ate a LOT of hours in 2021. There are a ton of puzzles, it’s free, and the only ads are for Konami’s other mobile games. If you like Picross and Konami you should download this ASAP. Finally, and best of all, a really tremendous driving game that is driven by a hilarious and rather sordid-appearing story, Does Not Commute. You learn the story line by line and character by character as you pilot car after car through the same few seconds of commute time, route after route piling up until you have a real mess on your hands. The trailer explains it very well: But story aside the mayhem you generate through your own choices is really remarkable, and the physics are really solid and funny. Each level is essentially a puzzle to be solved, with a dozen plus big hunks of metal on rubber. The music and graphics are sublime and there is really nothing to complain about except the fact that I would rather play it on a system with a real controller. (I really hate screen controls in general, which is why I don’t play more mobile games and prefer games with touch inputs or only two inputs when I do.) In looking for reviews of the game, I found this hilariously naive review: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/app-reviews/does-not-commute which states the game is kid-friendly. It’s kid-friendly to the extent that the constant innuendoes and subtle plot points are likely to go over kids’ heads, but canny kids will immediately realize there’s something off. I wouldn’t let young kids play it unless I was ready to explain to them what furries are and why some people drive naked. Anything that you play on your iPhone (or other mobile devices as long as it’s available on iPhone) that others might enjoy?

I have some random items for sale. Payment via PayPal, shipment to United States residents only via United States Postal Service (USPS). Prices only include shipping where noted, actual shipping costs apply otherwise. PM me if you have any questions. If you are new and/or have zero feedback at AtariAge, I require a gifted/family/friends payment. For everyone else, a normal payment is fine (or if you realllly want to gift it, you know.. the option is still there ). Prices are firm. My feedback: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/156821-austin/page-1 | http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Users.Feedback&User=Austin Photos are at the bottom of the post. I apologize for the poor quality, my cell phone camera cracked and now the images are blurry and there are splotches everywhere. ________________________ Apple iPad Mini w/Retina Display - $150 shipped - 2013, Model ME276LL/A, 16GB. Includes the original box with charger. Also includes a Logitech snapcase/protector/stand. iPad itself is in fantastic shape and hasn't been used all that much since original purchase. Unit has been in the protector case since day one. Retina display looks fantastic. Logitech case plastic housing is cracked by the power button area. Unit will be restored/wiped prior to shipping it out. Currently has the latest iOS on it. Performance is still really strong on it, especially during normal web browsing or multimedia use. Hard to believe it's four years old at this point. Reminder: The photos look like garbage because my phone's camera is busted, not because the items are actually in bad shape (on the contrary, they are solid). Thanks for looking. Again, shoot me a PM if you have any questions or are interested in something. ---------------- *edit 4/9 - No interest in the gaming items over the last week and a half, so I went ahead and removed them. If you happen to be interested in something, check the photos below and send me a PM. Otherwise, I'll probably hold on to the stuff or trade it in locally in the future.

I frequently view AtariAge on an iPad, where the forum's mobile view is unnecessary. However, even if I remain logged in, if I'm away from Safari for awhile, the forum view keeps reverting back to mobile. I keep having to tell it to go back to the full version. Is there any way to get that preference to stick on a per-user basis?

The Vectrex home console was a bit of an anomaly back in the early 80s, with it's vector based graphics, built in TV and analog joysticks. Now, that classic & rare console has been lovingly brought to the iOS platform along with many of the games. I review the iPad version along with the iCade and come away impressed! If you are having problem starting the app, it's because your iPad is jailbroken...

XTREME BEAM VECTOR ARCADE, featuring STAR CANNON, is now available for download on the App Store for iPad and iPad Mini. Star Cannon, is of course, the first game to appear in the app. I am sure everyone here on this forum will recognize what classic vector game inspired Star Cannon.. You could say that Star Castle has been my muse for a long time.. The plan is for the app to eventually contain multiple vector games, including games with more original concepts. Care was taken to create an app that draws vector lines on the screen in a very similar manner to vintage vector arcade hardware. The app replicates a black and white, bi-level, vector monitor with color overlays. Choose the CLASSIC COLOR overlay for the vintage look or DYNALAY for a dynamic color changing overlay, something that was not possible back in the day.. Or just play in black and white for that bare, white line vector monitor look. Screenshots don't really do the app justice.. You need to see it running on an iPad to fully appreciate it! Set the iPad brightness control to manual and turn the brightness on your iPad screen up to about 75% to 80% intensity for the best simulated vector monitor experience.

I love the selection of retro games available on iOS. The problem is, of course, that touch controls suck. Is their another mobile platform, excluding traditional modern handhelds, that has decent controls? Does anyone have experience with playing games on an Android device? What is the availability of retro games from other stores that have download content for phones? In other words, is mobile phone gaming outside of Apple an enjoyable experience?
