4 of the 5 modern alternatives to Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1985) run on iPhone. 2 of them are free, and the cheapest paid option is The Case of the Golden Idol at € 15,99. 2 are 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.
