What are your favorites?

My choice would have to be Tyrian. I wish more developers would work on such ports (I want Lode Runner!).

My favorite ports are:
The Simpsons Arcade (More like a reboot due to updated graphics and homer is the only playable character)
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
Monkey Island Special Edition.
TG16 Gamebox
Capcom Arcade
Also, at one point there was a lode runner port on the AppStore but it got pulled.

Tower Runner (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tower-runner/id392479096?mt=8)
Gold Runner (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gold-runner-99/id365651210?mt=8)

Hope those satisfy your Lode Runner needs :)

Also, Glypha (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/glypha/id321273408?mt=8) is a fantastic Joust clone. The controls are great. It's free, too.
