How To Get Ipad Games On Iphone

Arcade games can make you feel like a kid again, and take you back to an era where the graphics didn't matter, and you filled your pockets with quarters trying to beat your favorite game.

Your iPhone and iPad have more processing power than an old arcade game did in the 80s or 90s, meaning plenty of companies have transferred over classic games to the mobile platform allowing you to play some truly memorable games in video game history.

Whether you're looking for an old classic or a newer title inspired by arcade games of old, here's my favorite arcade games for the iPhone and iPad.

PAC-MAN
Ghosts and Goblins
1942 Mobile
Breakout Boost
Zen Pinball
Injustice 2
Galaxian 1979 Classic HD

PAC-MAN

Yes, the yellow circle- shaped hero PAC-MAN is available on mobile, and he's still hungry for those delicious pellets.

The objective is the same as it always was, you'll need to move PAC-MAN around the screen by swiping in the direction you want to go and eat all the pellets in the level. Of course, you'll need to be on the lookout for ghosts Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde as they will try to stop you.

You can play through the classic 256 stage PAC-MAN game, or even choose from a bunch of fun and wacky new levels never played before. Plus, PAC-MAN is brought to you by BANDAI NAMCO, which are the original developers of the very first PAC-MAN game.

Breakout Boost

Atari's Breakout was the Pong-inspired video game that was co-created by the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak. Breakout Boost carries the torch of the original game but adds some cool new features.
