Great iPod Games …
Enjoy Them On the Go!



Great iPod Games by Daniel Dwase

Your iPod certainly will not replace your Playstation, Xbox or your PC when it comes to serious gaming but it can certainly keep you occupied with a pleasant pastime if you are in the mood for a game or two.

The following games are available on the latest iPod…






Brick

Ubiquitous Brick has been around for a very long time. It was one of the early computer games that was invented and has been around in some form or the other. The iPod does justice to include it in its models.

The Brick game can be accessed via the games menu on your iPod. Click the center button to activate the game.

The objective of the game is to destroy all the bricks on the ceiling above by bouncing the ricocheting ball off a paddle that you can move right or left by moving your finger on the clickwheel clockwise and anti-clockwise respectively.

If you miss a ball you lose it. You are given three balls. Once you knock off all the bricks you are provided with more in a next level where the game gets more difficult and exciting as the speed of the bouncing ball increases.

The Music Quiz games works like this…

… A few second of a song chosen at random from your iPod’s music library is palyed and you will have to identify the song from the list of 5 songs displayed on the screen.

The bigger the collection of your iPod’s music library the tougher the questions become and the more challenging the game gets.

Parachute

Not a first person shooting game that is so popular these days but a shooting game nevertheless.

The objective of the game is to shoot the helicopters on top that drop paratroopers. If you miss the target while shooting the copters you lose points.

You shoot the copters and the paratroopers using your barrel gun that can be pointed at any target by moving your finger on the click wheel.

To shoot you need to press the center button. If a parachutist drops on the ground they can throw grenades at you and any of the parachutists land on your gun or barrel you lose the game.

The ever popular game of the PC is available on the iPod too. If at first you are wondering how to play this computer-screen big game on the screen of your iPod you will also be pleasantly surprised that you can play it with just one hand.

The objective of the game is simple. Stack the 7 rows of cards with alternate black and red cards in descending order.

Initially you are given three cards to start with. The iPod offers a helping hand cursor that you can move over the stack of cards.

On the screen of this game you will see a row of seven progressive card stacks; Each stack has one card facing up and the rest face down.

The goal of the game is to build a card sequence from each face up card in descending rank and alternating color (black and red).

The four empty spaces at the top are where you ultimately want to stack your cards (from Ace to King) by suit (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, and Spades).

The stack in the upper-left corner is where you can pull cards (three at a time) to put into play.

To play the game browse the seven stacks to see if you can move any face up card below another.

For example if you see a Jack of Diamonds and a 10 of Clubs, you can move the 10 below the Jack to reveal the card that was directly beneath the 10.

To move a card scroll the Click Wheel until the hand icon is over the card and press the Center button; if there's a valid play to be had, the hand icon will automatically move over the play card's position.

Press the Center button to place the active card in that location then turn over the next card in the vacated place.

If you deplete a stack, leaving an empty space, you can move any King card (along with its descending card stack) to that space.

When you can't make a move, move the hand to the stack in the upper-left corner and press the Center button to turn over a stack of three cards; the top card is the active one, which you can move to any of the seven stacks if it fits a sequence.

If you see an Ace card anywhere, move it to one of the four spaces at the top of the screen to begin building the ascending sequence by suit. Continue turning cards and moving what you can to build sequences. When you've exhausted your stack in the corner, click the waste pile to start the stack again.

To win, you must completely build four ascending card stacks by suit in the top of the screen.

When you can no longer make any moves but you haven't yet completed the four ascending stacks by suit you lose and it is time to try again.
