Ten Games That Should Be Ported to Tablets




   Okay, not a new idea, in-fact, one could say it's so overdone, it's sickening. Still, most people who make these posts, do not take into account that the games need to be designed for touch screens. So here, I going to discuss games that can easily come to tablet, and still be fun as they were back in the day. 

      

1. Age of Empires II: this one is so obvious, and it doesn't yet exist in its entirety, with all the expansions. It would work well on the newer iPads, and it would be a fun game to play with touch capabilities. I love these games, and world-building games are very common,Mobutu this is one of the pioneering games in the series. You could use Civilization as another prime example,mbut this is an easy port, and you can take my money now!

2. Marble Madness. Here's another game that is designed for tilting and playing Mona. Tablet. It was a classic game, and it was one of the best arcade games I've played when I was a time. Does it hold up in-comparison to other games on the list? Probably not...but it's still going to be fun to use iPad to tilt and turn the marble through the multiple obstacles. 

3. Paperboy. This game was a classic in its own right, and would be a easy port to a tablet. iOS

4. Rocky Rodent this is a classic SNES game that has you play a rodent living in NY trying to get his girl back from the mob. The game was 90's in-full, and one of the most fun games of my childhood. Your attacks were based on different razors and hair sprays that changed your hairstyle and the sort of projectile your hair could become. Overall, the game is fun, the game is a relatively unknown classic, and hardens back to the days where buying video game cartridges were far-more difficult than nowadays. 


5.  Myst: not sure about this one already existing in iOS form, although it would be prefect for playing out on a tablet. The game is a point-and-click game that has you solving puzzles, and trying to use your brain to get though the many difficult mazes. There are many games like this in the late nineties, but Myst, and its sequel, which I'll mention next: Risen, we're both incredible games that are far-and-few in-between today. 

6. Riven- as explained, the sequel to Myst, and one of the most popular sequels in gaming history. There are a lot of games that come-and-go, but this series is one of the most-pupil at series in computer game history, and it should be there, on iOS. 

7. Lemmings- this classic game of redirection, often imitated, never duplicated is w classic that strikes a chord with both the youth and eldest generation of gamers. As a slide and touch screen game, it would only be obvious, and so it should be ported from its original version on tablets. 


8.  Worms- Another similar game that has lead to most tablet games, the original Wormz was turn-based combat that accelerated the plat former to unique canopies, giving us a new, albeit, old school t its on a format that is not only destined for tablets, but is on; in many forms, tablets right now. The origins l however was a game that was both fun to play, story-driven through pantomimes, and one of the gunner co-op strategies to come out of the Third and Fourth generation consoles. 

9. Diablo- Here's a real tablet RPG, one that has the power to sustain generations' interest, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. The original Diablo older than the age required to rent a car, it is also one that holds up well enough that it should be brought over to the tablet market, and should've been years ago. 

10. Fallout- The original game, the one that started it all, the game that answered the question what it would be like to be waltzing about in a nuclear wasteland, and now we find out the actual answer is one that we cannot wait to see played out on next generation systems. Tablet games need to be like Fallout was for Pc, it was a defining moment for the market,mane a definitive game that relaunched with a vengeance in Fallout 3; taking some unknown software company called Bethesda Softworks, and launching them into video game history. The original game that set the bar for dystopian future RPGs is worth trying, and there is no other place worth playing it than on your favorite tablet.
