    I'm looking for games that are similar to Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, and other classics.

    Does anyone know of games like this for iOS?

    Wow! Thanks for asking that question. I am about to release a game in the App Store on January 10 called Asteroid Asteroid. It gives a tip of the cap to the golden age of arcade games while maintaining a feel of "made for mobile".

    I hope this is a game you will enjoy playing.
