Or do we need another decade before we can call IPod games retro?

Oh yeah Parachute!
I think 25 years is plenty long enough.
The Atari 2600 was newer when the first iPod was released than the first iPod is now.
I had a similar thought, I sold those things so many years ago, it is retro. It was before the gameboy advanced (okay only by like 8 months if I saw the correct dates). I actually thought they came out further apart and advanced was later but apparently March and November dates. 2001 was a good year, Xbox year too.
Are deliberatly trying to make hurt me?
I was originally going to compare it to the NES, and then I realised that I needed to go back a lot further…

Ha. I was playing with my old one just yesterday. It’s the model with the touch sensitive wheel and 4 touch buttons.
The battery doesn’t even last 1 song anymore.
Then I have a newer one that I installed rockbox on. That’s kind of neat.
My mother in law found this one and was going to donate it when I snatched it away. I didn’t have any 30 pin adapters but luckily a friend of mine is a cable hoarder and gave me three brand new ones. I’ve got iPod classic as well with a burned out hard drive that I plan on installing an SD drive and rockbox on.
“Cable hoarder”? You mean “reasonable person,” right? Maybe “good decision maker”?
I modded my 4th gen, and replaced the battery while I was in there. The trouble with mine is that it won’t charge with USB, so I had to spend out on a FireWire charger. Also, the HDD in 4G is IDE, where the 5G+ are SATA, so if you do decide to mod a newer one you’ll need a new adapter.
It is pretty though. And very easy to mod.
Like 15 years ago my wife had one of these and she was a teacher f0r 12-13 yo and one of them asked “what is that” and other answer “an iphone, the really old ones, was not even a phone yet”. That interaction still haunts my wife.
I mean…the student was technically wrong, buuuuuut, realistically, was he?
The first iPhone didn’t have access to an app store, it was basically an iPod and a feature phone that got Tuvixed.
An iPhone without the phone??? When will Apple stop innovating!
Here at Apple we believe the iPhone doesn’t need the functionality to make calls anymore. Introducing the all new i .
That’s GBA/PS2 era, definitely retro.
The black & white iPods are antiques at this point.
I miss my GEN 4 iPod
I had an eighty GB iPod gen 5 and that was the shit.
I could watch the Simpsons on it and plug it into any TV with RCA cables that plugged into the headphone jack.
You ČyBerPünķ you!
Bro I can’t fucking read foreign language what do you think I am some type of genius?
It’s kinda sad how many current day mobile games are barely more advanced than this.
Parachute was dope
Big Game & Watch energy
Reminds me of the couple games I had on an old Nokia. The bowling and parachute were surprisingly addictive and fun
Played the fuck outta that
Dankpods already retrofied, popularised, lead to the sellout of, then abandoned the ipods.
Also, if you bought one you are a fucking toolshed and brought about all the lack of ownership, and enshittification in the world today
I’m sorry I didn’t have a crystal ball to foresee the future more than two decades ago.
did you see where your files went after you had itunes choose which scattered random folder it shoved them into?
You can add the video iPod that I used to watch movies in the subway. You could even find movies on TPB with the good resolution. Fun times.
