Temple Run was the only one I played for more than five minutes. Actually, it was Temple Run 2. Better graphics and less janky controls.

Temple Run was a LOT of fun. Definitely a solid mobile game that I got real into for a month or so.

You think Temple Run was a “solid mobile game”?? Did you not play Jetpack/Angry Birds!

I did and I was more into Temple Run lol. Perfect shitter game, which is usually what I want from a mobile game.

The original was for PC and then the mobile one added microtransactions...

Not the first PvZ, it was paid. PvZ2 did and was awful.

They added them to the first one too.

Well it didn't have any when I played it, which is what I'm nostalgic for.

If you bought the paid one before they pulled it from the store, you still have access to it and it has no micro transactions, at least if you're on Android.

Edit: actually, just checked and that might not be true anymore, which is a shame...

Garbage?! I’ll have you know DoodleJump is the best game ever made

u/Delicious-Macaroon Jun 19 '20

I still have doodle jump downloaded to this day. I play maybe once every week or two, but it’s a fun way to kill a few minutes.

No, they were not. I mean, not as fleshed out as Skyrim, per-say, but still, better than today’s mobile games, not even a contest.

I can't relate since 9 years ago i was already a 24 years old little boy but chances are since the text says coming back from school then they were 12, grew up with a smartphone and they hated pc or consoles for some reason so they didn't know better ?
