Fun, fun, fun

[caddyman]

I am slowly building up a decent library of free games on my iPhone so I don’t have to lug stuff around with me in the form of little booklets or pages from the newspaper if I fancy playing sudoku or similar. I have even found a reasonable copy of minesweeper, though that’s going to take a little getting used to: add a flag my touching and holding down, but explode a mine simply by touching. I’ve come to grief on that already, even when I know there’s a mine there. Still, after a bit of practice…

Are there any recommendations for good games, bearing in mind that I really don’t care for shoot ‘em up style things (though I do have the old Atari Missile Command, which is splendid)?

I've got Bejewelled 2, which wasn't free, but wasn't very much at all. That's fun, in a pattern matching kind of way.

Enigmo is a lot of fun- directing drops of water into containers using springboards, sponges and the like. Totally ignores the rules of physics but we can forgive it that.

So long as it is consistent in its use of its own internal physics.

The genuine "games" I have on my iPhone other than Missile Command are:

Bookworm (boggle for the iPhone effectively)
Solitaire City Lite (does what it says on the tin)
Blue Skies (helicopter shoot em up)
Vector Tanks
B-gammon (Backgammon)
iChess
Paper Toss
Morocco (Othello)
Virtual Pool

The one I play most is Sol Free (solitaire)
