    I miss simple games. There used to be lots of little basic games with endless levels without a million ads, bouncing pop ups every turn, endless in game purchase etc. I just want something calming I can play for 15min while I have my coffee. There’s a gap in the market. I guess it must be unprofitable.

      Flight Control
      Plants vs. Zombies
      Peggle
      Angry Birds (original one)
      Fieldrunners
      Asphalt 6
      Jetpack Joyride
      Doodle Jump

      I actually have a couple of these still installed. I think they all cost something like $1-$5 to install but that was it. No in app purchases, no ads etc. So nice.

          Unfortunately, Fieldrunners is one that loses its appeal once you have figured out how to reliably beat it on the hardest difficulty.

          I’ve just remembered there was a pocket version of Civilization. That one got played so much!! And very re-playable.

              Mini metro but with roads. I prefer the original, I’d have included it in my list, except that it came out several years later than the other games. The titles in that list are all from around 2008-2010, when that sort of game was the norm.
