Super PolyPixel - If you’re not familiar with this game then shame on you. It is, by far, one of the best experiences on any apple platform. Tailor made at the end of 2010 to utilize the touch screen and offered a revolutionary way of controlling your characters movements. Everything felt so natural and looked so beautiful that by the end of 2011 it had earned over $23 million dollars in revenue and ended up being crowned the “fastest grossing app” at the time.
Retro gaming console emulator apps are now welcome on the Apple App Store and can even offer downloadable games.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
Meh ios gaming
My God. It's crap.
Sweet, a new tech demo for my outdated phone!
