I am convinced that many of you who are reading us at the moment have grown up without the iPhone, well, in fact, without the existence of mobile phones. Many of us still remember wheel phones, we are familiar with Atari games, and we have even had a portable battery-powered console whose only game was Tetris. The good thing about being "young" is that we have been able to live that technological transition and, although now I am not as freaked out as before, I remember that when I had my first iPhone in my hands I was amazed.
At a technological level, the last decade has taken a giant leap, I guarantee it. And of course, those Atari games and those portable versions of Tetris (by the way, in black and white), now have incredible graphics. Because yes, many of them not only have not disappeared, but now the new generations play them while we get a certain homelessness. So today, taking advantage of the fact that it is a festive and somewhat gloomy day, we are going to give you a note of color with this selection of the best retro games for iPhone.
Tetris
El Tetris It was, without a doubt, one of the most popular games in the childhood of those of us who are already in their thirties. And believe me, although it may not seem like it, it is a very "educational" game that over the years has helped to put all the groceries in the fridge, or fill the car well during a move.
I think it is not necessary to explain in detail how Tetris is played, but let's go there: different shapes that you will have to fit in by changing their position before they reach the bottom and trying to complete lines so that they self-eliminate, and this while the pieces go down faster and faster.
The modern version of Tetris is free to download and, of course, has many colors and new features. It's a game perfect for any time, and really addictive.
Sonic The Hedgehog
It was once the great success of the video game company «Sega». Who does not remember this blue character called Sonic? His success was such that I even remember a cartoon series in which he was the protagonist.
Sonic it was a blue porcupine that became a Sega mascot; was the answer to Mario, from Nintendo, and its debut dates, nothing more and nothing less, than the year 1991. Come on, some of you were not even thinking. In its version for iPhone it keeps intact the spirit of its origins but now optimized for this new format.
Dash through seven classic zones, spin through loops to collect rings and defeat enemies, including famous bosses like the mythical Doctor Robotnik, until you meet tu mission: save the world from the evil Dr. Eggman.
Unfortunately, Sonic It is not available in Spain, but it is in the United States App Store so if you have an account there, you can get it for $ 2,99.
Super Mario Run
After its launch last December, Super Mario Run for iPhone it garnered a lot of criticism, but I think it was due to the fact that many expected something totally new. Nevertheless, the success of Super Mario Run for iOS has been precisely that it has kept its essence original that, as we have mentioned before, net of the nineties.
This popular plumber was the great success of the Japanese Nintendo. The world of video games cannot be understood without Sonic and without Mario, and now we also have it in the palm of our hand thanks to this endless runner that you can play with one hand (one finger really), and that it is by no means as easy as its simple mechanics may seem to you.
Super Mario Run It is free to download and allows you to play multiple levels without paying. And if you like it, you will have to make a single purchase of € 9,99 to continue playing.
