Hello all, While I haven't been on this forum for quite a while now, mainly because I've lost interest in the newer F2P iOS games, I've been a long time iOS gamer. With the iOS 11 news that I'm sure you all know about now, here's a list of games that'll be obsolete with iOS 11 unless updated. We need to nag on developers to update their games or else we'll have hundreds and hundreds of games that cannot be played forever. Here it is: (If there is DEAD next to it that means the game or developer has been removed from the App Store) - TouchArcade App - App Shopper (DEAD) - Flappy Bird (DEAD) - Dead Space (DEAD) - Mass Effect Infiltrator (DEAD) - Command & Conquer Red Alert (DEAD) - Star Wars Journeys (DEAD) - Star Wars Pit Droids (DEAD) - Fruit Ninja HD (DEAD) - Tiny Thief (DEAD) - Bio Shock (DEAD) - Prince of Persia Retro (DEAD) - Prince of Persia Warrior Within (DEAD) - Zuma HD (DEAD) - Peggle Classic (DEAD) - Duke Nukem 3D (DEAD) - Metal Gear Soild Touch (DEAD) - Golden Axe (DEAD) - The Other Brothers (DEAD) - Street Fighter vs Tekken (DEAD) - Marvel vs Capcom 2 (DEAD) - Soul Calibur (DEAD) - Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (DEAD) - Secret of Monkey Island (DEAD) - Secret of Monkey Island 2 (DEAD) - Soccer Physics (DEAD) - iDOS (DEAD) - Swords & Shadow (DEAD) - Mad Out - Soccer Rally - Soccer Rally 2 - Table Top Racing - Resident Evil 4 - Colin McRae Rally - Bumpy Road - Death Rally - 8-Bit Rally - Slingshot Racing - Z - Nimble Quest - Punch Quest - Marble Mixer - Achtung - eBoy FixPix - Blueprint 3D - Super Crate Box - Roar Rampage - Ridiculous Fishing - PinWar - Mini Mix Mayhem - Draw Race 2 - Canabalt - Dead Effect - Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame - Duke Nukem Manhattan Project - Type:Rider - Lunar Racer - Punch Quest - R-Type - Aemula Oldies - Neon Shadow - Beat Hazard Ultra - Astronaut Spacewalk - South Park Pinball - Beben III (Quake 3) Of course these are just my games, so please feel free to add your games and help us all create a list for the games that will die off completely with iOS 11 and the games that we need to contact the developers for an update! Thank you all.
For me the ones that really hurt seeing going away are Peggle Classic Dead Space Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Soul Calibur and of course App Shopper Looks like I'll be getting a spare iPad just for my oldies.

Final Fantasy Tactics and Lunar Silver Star Story Touch...wondering what take them so long.Especially for Tactics.
Annoyingly I bought Kahuna a couple of days ago only to find it is 32 bit. I was tempted to get a refund, but it's only 69p. Good game too.
According to Rocketcat Games' official Twitter, they are submitting an update for Punch Quest soon and will update Mage Gauntlet soon. EDIT: Cold Beam Games is planning to update Beat Hazard Ultra according to their Twitter. I think it is our best bet to start emailing/tweeting these developers to see if they are planning any updates.
Also, I don't know if it'll be the case with any other Capcom games but I remember they updated Devil May Cry and Mega Man X in December out of nowhere so there's still hope for Monster Hunter Dynamic Hunting and Resident Evil 4
Vlambeer is updating their games. Dungeon Raid needs to be saved. Some games I won't risk losing are games that have jumped like 4 generations of phones with me.
My list of currently installed 32-bit games on my iPhone 6+ is 166 long! Don't think anyone wants me to post all of them, lol. Hopefully I can move them back to an old iPhone 4s to keep them working.... The ones that stand out right away that I'll be missing include: Anomaly Defenders Anomaly HD Anomaly Korea Asteroids: Gunner Autumn Dynasty - RTS Autumn Dynasty Warlords Block Fortress: War GeoDefense GeoDefense Swarm Heroes and Castles Infinite Warriors Meteor Blitz Midway Arcade Space Invaders InfinityGene Starbase Command Starborn Anarkist Starfront Collision And it really makes me sad looking over the complete list and seeing all the cool retro 80's arcade games that will break.... sigh.
Soooo depressing This is the last of them that I have listed on my iPad. There are probably tripled this amount that I don't know because they are on my iTunes account. First gamecenter, now this
Let's see off my list War hammer Quest The Escape Run Roo Run Ash Roomies Aralon:sword and Shadow Prince of Persia SoF Mage Gauntlet Infinity Blade Deathsmiles Age of Zombies Beat Sneak Bandit Pocket RPG Bug Princess Soo...well I'm depressed about that now since my backlog was so large from my other consoles I never got to really play these games
I am looking at losing almost 300 games. And these are all premium as I don't do f2p. I'm not updating and I'm not ever buying another iPad again.
It has been confirmed that Autumn Dynasty and Beat Sneak Bandit will be updated. It makes me a bit sad to see that a load of games will die - but I know it's not practical to keep all versions of iOS backwards compatible right to the beginning forever. If there was ever a chance that I'd run out of games to play, then this would bother me more.
