    A friend of min introd'ed me this weeked to an app in the Android Marketplace called Rom Gripper. May be available in the iphone store as well, but I have doubts.

    Anyway, download and install, and you'll have all the games at your fingertips from many systems like the Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc.

    If you want to play a game, choose what you want and it will even download and install the emulator if you don't have it as well.

    Here's some actual screens I grabbed from my phone. Enjoy.

    By the way, I have downloaded the emulators that play these game to my mac and they work great on the computer as well. I download and play the games on my phone, and also transfer the games to my computer to play. Simple process if you have never done it.

    I downloaded those too thanks to you. Great find! Games from my childhood. The touchscreen is a little tough and the buttons take up some of the screen.

    Yeah, I had MAME before, but a lot of games didn't work.
