osnews.com — Looking back in the classic era of computer gaming we remember some real gems that would fit right into the "keep it simple stupid" philosophy of the iPod. So, let's have some fun and suggest to Apple 10 classic games that would specifically work well with the iPod scroll wheel interface.

Yeah, people are stupid.You're right though - video games and iPods are two totally different things and should be kept that way to avoid uselessness.Companies are trying to merge everything into one, and it's not gonna happen with such small devices. That's why the Nokia N-Gage failed (that and the graphics were s**tty for it being 2003 and all).iPods are used for music storage and playback as well as an external hard drive. No reason to put games on it.

Yars' RevengeIn a distant galaxy the civilization known as the Yars were attacked by the fierce Qotiles. Though badly damaged, the Yars' fought back using their mechanical ships that look like giant metal insects. The Qotiles have many laser cannons shielded behind celluliod barriers which are capable of destroying the Yars. It's up to you to control your Yar ships and dig your way through the shields and fire your powerful Zorlon Cannon into the Qotiles. The enemy is relentless; there are thousands of laser cannons surrounding the people of Yar, each one is capable of firing deadly energy swirls at the Yars. They are also protected with a destroyer missile that will constantly track you down and detonate your Yar ship. It's up to you to save the Yars, good luck!

A decent SNES or Gensis emulator for the iPod would be nice, and then there would be an instant (albeit illegal) library of games.

Pocket Gamer has a dedicated iPod section added now. Who knows, maybe some of these games will be reviewed there someday? (Tempest please!)<a class="user" href="http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/latest.asp?sec=6">http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/latest.asp?sec=6</a>
