    I tried searching the forums here for this topic, but ran into trouble because the words "iOS" and "4.3" are too short.

    I have an iPhone 3GS that I don't do much gaming on anymore because I haven't upgraded it from iOS 4.3.5 and, well, because it's an iPhone 3GS. ;)

    Does anyone know of any recent (or even not-so-recent) games that will run on my phone? I do most of my gaming on my iPad mini running 6.1.3, but I ALWAYS have my phone with me, and not always my tablet, and I wanted to see if there was anything I could add to my stable of older games on my phone.

    Games I currently play occasionally on my phone:
    Lux Touch
    Galcon Labs
    Plants vs Zombies
    Sword of Fargoal
    Solomon's Keep
    Zombie Gunship
    Zombie Highway
    Warp Rush
    Jetpack Joyride
    Tiny Wings
    Temple Run
    Flight Control
    Harbor Master
    Game Dev Story
    Osmos
    Swordigo

    You are far behind, instead of buying apps you should upgrade to iphone5 or 4s atleast

    No thanks, instead of spending hundreds on a new phone or getting into a new contract, when my current phone is perfectly functional, I think I'll try to work with what I have. Thanks anyway!

    But why not simply upgrade the iOS on this iphone ? You'll then get a much larger range of games available to you ? Looking on wikipedia you can get iOS6 on it ? At least upgrade it from iOS 4.3.5, dont know why you're happy with that unless theres something else ?

    I sold my iphone 4 recently, hardly got anything for it. I'm not saying spend a fortune on the latest iphone but a step up to iphone 4 or 4s wont cost much at all and will give you a huge range of available games.

    I havent got a crazy contract, i simply wait a few generations and get the phone then, my current iphone 4s is brilliant, so much faster than the iphone 4 and i picked it up very cheap (granted it was my wifes but when she tried to sell it she was still offered only £150)

    Thanks for the on-topic reply, saansilt. I've played dungeon hunter and bullet time on my phone before, but I'll check into the other ones.

    Edit: FYI GTA3 doesn't support 3GS, only 4 and up.

    Thanks Sherlock, I'll look into those. Oceanhorn on 3GS, really?!

    Btw, two games that came out last night support 4.3, Smash Hit and 5by5. Smash Hit is awesome!

    Oceanhorn is a little laggy but definitely playable. I'll look into Smash Hit

    Replying to myself...
    Those 2 games may support 4.3 but don't really work on my 3GS. Smash Hit would load but was increasingly laggy until crashing, even on low graphics setting. 5by5 installed but did not run.

    Both work great on my mini, including smash hit on high graphics setting.
