    That’s great. But how long until I can play Balatro on my iPod Classic?

    (I love that indie devs occasionally port their games to nonsensical or obsolete platforms)

    Apple offered a Ms. Pac-Man port on these devices for a while, and it was surprisingly good.

    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.

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

        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.

        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.
