That's not 'ingenious'
what other logical way, is there to do a right click?

Unless these are Apple-sanctioned and on the iTunes store, then they presumably rely on Jailbreaking your iPod, so it sounds like an "absolutely perfect" want to void your warranty to me...

ScummVM is not an emulator.

Yeah I was super happy till the install instructions said you have to jailbreak your iPhone. :( I spose I will just sit and wait.

Seriously, you would think Apple could have included ONE game.

Leisure Suit Larry can make a real comeback now!

Too bad for you people that have to have games. Grow up already!

Hmmm... All grown up and still want games. (Come on, the iPhone is no fun at all when you've got no signal! The other day I was trying to have fun with calculator... no dice.)

I am now seriously considering JailBreaking my iPhone to get this.

Although saying that, my Scumm adverture discs (like 'The Dig') are long lost :( and I'd need to find source for the content too.

Where's Zork?

I probably don't want any Scum in my phone, do I?

@ Shogun: Typing 58008 in the calculator and turning it upside down just doesn't have the same effect as on old-school LCD segments, huh?

Man I had a misspent sixth grade.

I need Flash. Give me Flash.

@Spark
The Zork engine is available for iPhone, has been for a long while. Here's a link for you.

@madgunde and Spark

Thanks for the cool link madgunde. I, too, miss Zork. And Planetfall especially. I spent months working through that game when I was a teenager!

As for games on the iPhone, I really don't understand why Apple has included no games at all. They are on every other phone I've ever seen, and are invaluable time wasters when on a plane, train, etc.

Thanks madgunde!

Don't forget that because Frotz has been ported, you can play all manners of Interactive Fiction. Here's a good guide: IFDB.

Hey I am 40 this year and I still LOVE games.

I am very discerning about my games in my "old age" but there are just some very cool games you have got to play.

You start dying the second you forego your inner child.

There's a study that says those of us who remain "immature" are because we retain the ability to learn and assimilate new information faster than others who have grown old and rusty. This is essential in today's fast paced dynamic business world, especially tech.

I am currently very much into my Mass Effect and Halo 3. The Xbox 360 is the only thing MS did right.

The i-phone is such a great innovative product with mass appeal...and speaking as a gamer I can see it competiting with other mobile markets for game industry control over things like the PSP and DS.

I am now seriously considering JailBreaking my iPhone to get this.
