    So playing around with Earthworm Jim got me thinking recently that the iPhone has become a pretty cool platform to bring old games back to the public eye. So far we have the likes of: EW Jim, Wolf 3D, Duke, Flashback, Myst, Monkey Isl, Sonic, Worms, and probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting.

    So what other 90s (and 80s?) classics would you love to see on the iPhone?

    I'll start the list with a few that came to mind earlier today:


    - Prince of Persia (the 2D games)
    - Return to Zork
    - more Lucas Arts (ie: Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, etc.)
    - Out of This World
    - Oddworld 1 & 2
    - Blackthorne
    - 7th Guest
    - some Sierra titles (ie: King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory)
    - Crusader: No Remorse (and Crusader: No Regret)
    - X-Com

    Lemmings--the father of RTS--and I mean of course the Amiga-only two-player mode with two mice hooked up to one Amiga :) Pure stress!

    Of course these days it would be even better: two devices, so you couldn't peek at the other player's split screen!

    (I wouldn't mind replaying the classic single-player campaign either.)

    ah, yeah, I remember the catacombs. That was where you had to find the Minotaur, right? Yeah, that was a b_tch. I was lucky that I saved just outside of it, and I remember I had to write down all of the directions I had tried on a notepad just so I wouldn't repeat myself. Even then I was OCD. haha. :p

    I'd love to see the old Lucasarts fighter game "Battle of Britain". That game was awesome.
