Last month I put together a list of my top ten iPhone applications for Moms and kids. Well now that I’ve had my iPhone a little longer, I wanted to revisit the topic and share a few new favorite FREE iPhone applicaitons in the category of “Just for Fun.” The list includes a few applications, that if you are my age, will “take you back” to your younger years.
My Top 10 “Just for Fun” / Nostaligic FREE iPhone applications:
- Scramble – It’s like a seek-n-find game on speed. You can play by yourself or connect online and compete against other players.
- Bowl Lite - It’s Skee Ball people! ON YOUR iPhone. It’s amazing! (note: the free version only allows you to play the classic game.)
- Scribble - Scribble is a tool that allows you to draw on your iPhone using your finger. The fun part of this application is that you can import photos and draw on them!
- Pac-Man Lite – As a child I spent hours at the gas station by our house playing Pac-Man. When I saw I could have it on my iPhone I was all over it.
- Duck Shoot - This fun game is reminiscent of the shooting games you might have played at carnivals growing up. The concept is easy, you use your finger to “shoot” the ducks….. just don’t accidentally hit something you’re not supposed to!
- Brick Breaker Revolution – It’s not just for Blackberry users (which I thought it was)! iPhone users can now play this addictive, “breakout” like game.
- Ben Stein – It’s Trivial Lite – If you ever watched Win Ben Stein’s Money on TV, then you’ll appreciate the iPhone version, complete with monkey co-host.
- Blackjack Free - If you like playing blackjack, this free version of the game should help satisy your cravings when you aren’t at the casino.
- Movie Challenge Lite – Think you know a lot about movies? This application will put that knowledge to the test across ten categories.
- Finger Sprint – This goofy applications is a great game for killing time and has you competing in a track race, using your fingers.

Pac Man? Man, the iPhone has everything. I cannot wait for my contract to expire so I can get one (must convince husband first…lol).
My wife and I were looking for some fun games for kids and toddlers so we made a few. We created FlipFrog (http://itunes.com/apps/flipfrog) and FlipFarm (http://itunes.com/apps/flipfarm). They’re fun and colourful matching games using sounds and animals. Now my 2 year old won’t give me back my phone!
You had me at PacMan…my FAVORITE old school video game!!!!
I’m a total iPhone slut now!
