    They all retro enough? By the way, everyone should really check out Squareball, it's an amazing and unique game.

    I think Edge has retro style graphics. As I said in the first post, games that either have retro styled graphics or are ports of retro/old school games i.e. Tyrian, Secret of Monkey Island etc. count.

    You seem to really like Strategy games. I'm going to make a category for it soon. But, only geoDefense and Slay count of your 5 I'm afraid.

    If Wolfenstein RPG counts as a Retro port, replace Mr Driller with it and push the rest down by one. (Top 5 so delete Pac Man Remix)

    How could they not be cosidered retro? They are all remakes of games from a long time ago. They are the very definition of Retro games.

    I especially don't understand how Slay could count, but not Lux.

    Oh well, you are keeping my two favorites, so that's ok. Since I seem to still have a few spots open, please add Geodefense Swarm to my list.

    If you say it that way, then basically every game on the app store counts as retro. I'll add geoDefense Swarm to the list.

    I think the term "retro" is subjective to one's generation. :D

    My favorite retro: Rogue Touch.

    followed by (not in any order that I care to think about):

    Western Bar
    iNethack


    I do like Space Invaders Infinity Gene but I just think it has retro art but isn't really retro anymore. :) iCombat is also a redone retro, which is a lot of fun.

    That's very true.

    This category we have the largest variety of games by far.

    Any more votes? I thought this would be a really popular genre especially now that GD Swarm is out.

    Are you going to redo the top TD games so the Geodefense Swarm can move into the top five, or are you going to group it with the original? Or something else?
