We all remember this fantastic game that used the gun instead of the remote, and came in the video game package of the old school Nintendo gaming system. You watch your dog sniff out the ducks, and you take them down when they fly out of the bush. It is easy and fun, and stays true to the original setup and graphics.

The Simpson’s Arcade Game

One of the longest running cartoons on TV produced an arcade game that was almost as loved as the show. Poor little Maggie is kidnapped, and it is up to the family in order to help save her. Bart uses his skateboard, Lisa her jump rope, Homer his cape, and Marge her vacuum to battle those of Springfield that stand in the way of them getting Maggie back.

The original Doom Classic game is now available for download to your iPhone, and if you want to see how the game has progressed there are also the modern versions of the game that are available.

Tetris

You might have loved watching this on the big TV playing from your Nintendo console, or on the green and black screen of your Gameboy. Tetris is one of the easiest games to understand, but can be rather challenging. You will want to create a full line across the screen by maneuvering pieces in order to fit within each other. The more lines you create the more points that you score. You will progress in levels once you reach a specific line count, the longer you play the faster the pieces will arrive. Your game will end when you are no longer able to create any lines and your pieces have stacked to the top. You do not have to worry about dusting off your iPhone or blowing on the game in order to try and get it to work on your Nintendo console, simply download it to your iPhone.

The games of our youth are often the ones that stick with us the longest. We have warm memories from spending our childhood enjoying some of these classic games. You no longer have to rely on your memory you just need to fire-up the app on your iPhone and you can remind yourself why you fell in love with the game in the first place.
