You know what game Apple should make for the iPod? Does anybody remember that tank game where you would pick the angle and velocity of the shell you were firing and then fire it at your opponent.

There could be a single player mode, and then a multiplayer where a bunch of people could play.

i dont think that will happen. from the preview at the keynote, i had the impression that all games had a very peacefull tone, nothing at all involving war guns or shooting…

but maybee when they ad third party developers to the lineup…

Apple should make Snood for the ipod! The controls would work perfectly.

How about a Pool or Snooker game?  I enjoy all the games but dread the battery drain on the iPod.

How can Apple say that all the games will have a peaceful tone?  One of the default games on my 4G iPod is Parachute, a game in which you control the angle of a cannon, and shoot down helicopters/paratroopers!

Personally, I think the click wheel interface is perfect for Bust-a-Move/Snood.

Scorched Earth… or Lemmings. Those are the games that would really get me excited. Or at least Worms—something where you’re manipulating little sprite characters on a solid-pixel 2-dimensional terrain that gets blown up and carved away.

An old-school RPG like Ultimate IV would be awesome. The ROM is very small and saved games miniscule, graphics would be sharp on the small screen, and the scroll wheel and buttons could be a very effective method of control. I’m sure Apple will never do this on their own, which is why I really wish it weren’t such a closed system.

Yahtzee.  I think it would work well on the iPod.  Plus it’s a great game to play if you only have a few minutes.

Also, remember that the clickwheel is actually a trackpad. Nothing forbids Apple allowing movements other than circular in the games. You could have games that understood moving towards the center or away from the center in any direction.

Does anyone remember the arcade game TEMPEST, where your gun spins around the edges of these shapes destroying obstacles then warping you to the next shape?  I think that would be an awesome game for the ipod.

I wouldn’t mind pinball, though it may be hard to see with the screen. The flippers could be controlled by pressing the left and right buttons of the wheel and the spring could be loaded or constricted by scrolling around the wheel over and over. The more you scroll the more power you store. Then, you could press the center button for release. Simple.
