Myst for iPhone: a handheld version of a classic game
When I was growing up, Myst was the most fantastic game imaginable.

I don't know about you, but I don't remember the answers to every puzzle. The price and the disk space are both formidable, at $5.99 and over 700 megs. Still, 6 bucks is far less than we paid for it when it first came out, and our computers couldn't run it as well as an iPhone can. Worth a look.
