Initially, iPod titles were limited to quiz and classic games like Sudoku, Solitaire, Pac-Man, Tetris, Mini Golf and Mahjong, but the library of iPod games appeared to diversify with the release of Lost: The Video Game for iPod devices in 2007.
What made these so revolutionary in 2006 is that these are games you could purchase and download right into the diminutive screen of your iPod, as long as you’re willing to strain your eyes for the right price. Other studios like PopCap Games, Electronic Arts and Ubisoft eventually followed suit, with more third-party iPod games emerging in the app store. The developer often touted itself as the first studio to make games for the iPod, which it referred to as a “ sonic gaming platform”, but it’s clear that this term did not take off. Back in 2005, a developer called Coolgorilla created its first game for the iPod, which is a free-to-play quiz game called Rock & Pop Quiz, testing the player on their knowledge on the most popular pop and rock stars of the decade, such as Gorillaz, U2, Metallica, Beyonce and more.
