Myst has just been released for the iPhone. It is over 700 megs to download, which makes it one of the biggest applications for the iPhone to date. If you played Myst and enjoyed it on your desktop, you are going to enjoy relieving it on your iPhone or iPod Touch. If you have never played it, here is your chance to affordably play one of the most popular RPGs of all time.
It is selling for $5.99
I will admit I was late to the Mafia Wars party. I actually avoided it altogether on the iPhone until a friend got me hooked on it on Facebook. So today I decided to put it on the iPhone and I am even more hooked. I am adding and growing my mafia left and right. This is a lot of fun. So I am going to share my Mafia Code:
8702 2331 05
Feel free to leave your Mafia Wars code here. Also I know there are a lot of knock-offs out there, but if anyone wants to recommend any of the knock-offs they find as addictive as the real thing, please let me know.
Call me stoked when I was doing my not-often-enough browse through the App Store look for something to download on my iPhone, when I got nothing better to do, and I came across Galaga. Previously I had been impressed with the turnout of games like Pacman, for example, but I was never really a Pacman guy back in the day, but I was definitely a Galaga guy. So when I saw Galaga Remix, I was intrigued. I have to admit though I am a perennial cheapskate though, so the $5.99 price tag took me for a bit of a loop as I am never really sure how much interest such a game will hold for me. In other words, will I play it once and then never play it again?
So I filed it away as a cool blast from the past and something I might consider in the future and went back to my browsing. This is when I got to the free applications and found Galaga Remix Lite. Now the price was right for me. I realized it was probably a very limited reproduction but that is okay I just wanted a taste of the old days. So I downloaded the Lite version and started it up. First I chose the arrow controls over the slider controls, because it seemed to make more sense, although I was a little concerned about my abilities to play Galaga on the iPhone. So as it loaded up, automatically in landscape mode, I got ready. I was hit by the music first, then the very nice graphics and I was engrossed. I was able to clear the first two levels even though one of my dogs attacked me on the second screen. That being said, the game was over, and now I had to decide what to do.
As soon as I finish writing this, I will be forking out the $5.99 as Galaga is one of those games that never gets old. The only game that might capture me more is if someone made Tempest on the iPhone, although I am really not sure how that control would work.
Check out Galaga Remix or Galaga Remix Lite.
