Pac-Man is just what you remember – no frills, no gimmicks.

Based on the old-school computer game, Oregon Trail blends 19th-century history with arcade gaming.

Frogger has new visuals, but the gameplay remains the same as the early eighties arcade classic.

Ghosts ‘n Goblins: Gold Knights is a solid game, but the iPhone can’t handle the chaotic gameplay of the classic.
