Retro games collection. Six arcade classics in one app, in two looks: glowing Neon or a handheld-style LCD. No timers, no lives to buy and no clutter. Just pick a game and play. Games: - Pong - Block Breaker - Space Invaders - Snake - Falling Blocks - Block Puzzle Pong - beat the computer or pass the phone and play head to head. Block Breaker - nine levels of bricks, with power-up drops and bonus balls. Space Invaders - waves of invaders, destructible bunkers and a boss fight, with a dedicated fire button so you can move and shoot at once. Snake - the one that started it all, with power-ups and a shield. Falling Blocks - move, rotate, hold and drop the falling pieces, and clear lines to climb the levels. Block Puzzle - fit the blocks onto the board and clear full lines before you run out of space. Two looks - Neon, with glowing arcade colours, or LCD, like a pocket console. Switch any time in Settings. From 15 October to 2 November every game gets a Halloween look, which you can also turn off. Game Center leaderboards for every game, plus achievements to earn.
