Thanks for the heads up 404.  Just downloaded it now.  Missile Command sure isn't very easy on a small phone.......

I can't wait to play Basic Math!

Seriously, though, I hope centipede/millipede plays well on the Kindle, thanks for the heads up!

Uh, just tried it, not worth the price of free. No way to filter out the games you don't "own," so the menus are useless, the sound varies from nothing like the original (arcade Centipede) to fairly similar (arcade Millipede). And the controls, surprise, are unusable. If only there was a way to control them by tilt...  ::)

Wasn't the point originally to hook up one of those little ion tablet arcade cabinets? That way you have half decent controls for the games.

I'm now waiting for someone to make the leap to a cab with a touch screen next to your fire button! It could be a swappable panel!!
