One great thing I love about my iPhone is that it’s a place where old games can be reborn. There are plenty of classic games that have been rereleased for iOS.

Like lost toys, the half a pizza with pineapple and children on a field trip without a buddy, some video games simply get left behind.

I remember when I was younger I would go to friends’ houses and play NBA Jam on the Sega Genesis. Back then I didn’t know anything about basketball, but I still loved playing the game.
