Games like The Secret of Monkey Island on iPhone
3 of the 5 modern alternatives to The Secret of Monkey Island (1990) run on iPhone. The cheapest is The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition at € 9,99. One is made by independent developers.
The iPhone is a good home for arcade, puzzle and point-and-click classics, and a poor one for anything needing precise controls. Official mobile ports are common but delisting is a real risk: publishers remove old apps regularly, so a game available today may vanish. Controller support has improved a lot.
