1909 S VDB is a penny collection game where the object is to collect all 305 Lincoln pennies in circulation from 1909 to 2020. The odds of getting a particular penny are based on how old the penny is, where the penny was minted, and the quantity produced. When I was a kid, my mom would take me to the bank to buy rolls of pennies so that I could sift through them looking for rare pennies. I would get 20 rolls at a time, hoping to find new pennies to add to my collection. This game is the result of me wanting to relive that experience and hopefully let others experience the joy of coin collecting. I added a few mini games involving pennies where you can try to earn a few more penny rolls if you run out. • Game Center support for Leaderboards. • Play for Free for as long as you like. • Free penny rolls every 24 hours. I hope you enjoy playing 1909 S VDB. NOTE: You may disable in-app-purchases on your device using the Settings application.

What is "UBEK"? Why does this game look like it was created 30 years ago? It's because indeed, it was! "UBEK" was one of the first Wolfenstein-lookalikes for Commodore Amiga, published in Poland in 1995. These were remarkable times. The '90s saw the birth of 3D graphics in games — what looks clunky today was groundbreaking back then. Developers were experimenting with new ways of visualizing and interacting within three-dimensional worlds, and entirely new genres were just beginning to take shape... The 2025 recreation is built from the same, 30-year old graphics, sound, level maps and code, except for small improvements (listed below) in order to make the game more enjoyable and compatible with modern displays and game controllers. Alternatively, the less orthodox retro gaming enthusiasts can also choose the alternative, enhanced versions of some graphics and sound pieces, provided by DJREMIX!
