Although video game consoles still have their audience, the truly attractive thing for game creators is the mobile platform. Smartphones - both iPhone and Android - are the true kings of our pockets. We use them for everything; they are our daily operations center. And of course, they are also our leisure center when we are not at home.
Now, it is also true that between the 80s and 90s, it was the boom of home video consoles. Now they have returned with a retro air in which users receive a smaller model than the original and the video games come preloaded in the internal memory. An example of this is the NES mini. Now, PRO gamers tend to bet on the desktop computer, so they are out of these statistics. But as everything old returns, mythical titles of those times are also available for iOS —You can play them on your iPhone or iPad. And we wanted to make a list of some of the most famous that you can enjoy through your iPhone.
Day of the Tentacle Remastered: one of the favorite graphic adventures of the 90s
The truth is that I have never been very fond of games. However, I have to admit that the adventure games caught my attention. And the first one to which he paid any attention was the one entitled "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis." This appeared in 1992 and I was already beginning to look for guides on how to overcome each problem.
A year later he appeared on the scene "The Day of the Tentacle", the second part of another of the popular titles of the moment "Maniac Mansion". In this case, the protagonists had to prevent the "Purple Tentacle" from carrying out their ideas. Well, a remastered edition is available for both iPhone and iPad.
Sonic the Hedgehog: the most famous hedgehog on consoles also runs on your iPhone
Nintendo has Mario as the main figure on its platform. So, his counterpart in SEGA is Sonic. It is true that for those who were made with any of the SEGA consoles Alex Kidd was called to be Mario's rival, but the thing worked better with the speedy hedgehog. According to the data, the company has managed to sell more than 140 million units of Sonic's adventures.
SEGA is one of the companies that has launched the most titles on iOS recently. And the adventures of Sonic are the most popular. The company offers you different titles — and all of them are free. But we think that to better delve into the adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog, it is best to bet on the first installment.
Mega Man Mobile: one of Nintendo's most loved platform game
He is another of the popular characters in Nitendo. In this case created by Capcom and from which, like Sonic or Super Mario, a TV and movie series was made. Mega Man, a platform video game in which at the end of each phase you must face a boss robot or master robot.
Mega Man has also been available on iOS for some time recreating the adventures of this blue robot created by Dr. Light. As well consists of different deliveries, but as in the previous option we gave you, it is best to start with the first version, the original.
Ghosts'n Goblins: arcade success on your iPhone screen
If I remember badly, "Ghosts'n Goblins" was - and is - one of the games that I saw the most in arcade games in the 80s. This game starring Sir Arthur, our knight with whom we will kill Zombies and get armor from all kinds, it is one of the games that has stepped on the most platforms: Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, PC, Nintendo, SEGA, arcade. And, of course, it could not be missing on our iPhone or iPad. It may be the title that I remember most fondly having played in the SEGA Master System first generation. For that console model it was titled "Ghosts'n Ghots."
TETRIS: the Russian game that conquered a whole generation also for iPhone
The last title that we recommend to awaken your nostalgia is well-known «TETRIS». This Russian game launched in the mid-80s is the game that has stepped on the most platforms: calculators, electronic agendas, mobile phones (dumb phone), consoles, computers, recreational games even in online games for social networks.
Tetris is a game that became well known, especially on the Nintendo laptop: Gameboy. Nintendo's little one, launched on the market in the late 80s, occupied the top sales positions in that sector. And not even powerful as SEGA could with it. Tetris was one of the games that came with the laptop back then in some sales packages. And now you can enjoy it on your iPhone or iPad.
Unforgivable that the Ghosts'n Goblins does not have command support like the Nimbus ... It lacks like eating ...
I did not like any of them and I found them very uninteresting and original.
In my opinion.
