      (Sure, it's 3 years later since your message, but I was just thinking about iQuiz and found this video 😊) Sorry about that experience with "Track 1", "Track 2" Etc - LOL. I was the developer who worked on iQuiz and the game did the best it could with the meta data available. I was pretty excited about having access to cover art and showing that in-game. Anyway, I never really tested with missing meta data - D'oh! The other thing that's not so fun is playing iQuiz with someone else's music that's not your jam. Early days I would hand off a ready-to-play iPod for a high up person to try out, but I think it was not so fun for them 'cause it was all my music.

    Vortex was my favorite and the mechanics were great. It was a brick breaker game built around the click wheel, so your paddle was positioned around a circular edge and you had to break through circular walls of bricks until you reached the center. You could set it so that scrolling clockwise would move the paddle clockwise OR so your paddle would zoom to wherever you touched the click wheel. I got so good at it

      Same! I loved that game and played it nightly for weeks. Ended up find a hack in it when you are playing against the AI. If you offer a trade to the AI, its select screen always flashes on screen for a second before yours. If you hit menu on yours it takes you back to the AI's selection screen and you can make it give you whatever you want! This basically ruined normal play for me.

I had an iPod nano as a child and there's a special kind of magic these games had for me that they still have when I see them and I feel like is hard to capture in anything else. These clickwheel games were the coolest thing in the world to me as a child and I spent too many hours playing Cake Mania on the clickwheel. Wish I could still access these!

    I actually beat all of Sonic on my iPod Classic, it wasn't too bad if I recall. I actually really enjoyed it, if the controls were a bit funky at times.
    To this day it's the only Sonic game I've ever completed. Good memories.
    It was during a season of my life where I was too young to have a job and buy a new console. And both ny older brothers had "out grown" video games, so my parents didn't want to buy any new consoles. So I was starved of new games.

    There was a circular brick breaking game (that I think was called vortex?) that came standard on my little red iPod nano that my dad bought me for Christmas in highschool. Because the layout was circular and you had to move your paddle on a circular track, using the clickwheel was actually surprisingly intuitive. I spent a lot of my school commutes playing that one.

    I remember playing Song Summoners on my old 30 gig Ipod. It was basically Final Fantasy Tactics but with a different world and enemies. The way you made your team was by uploading the songs IN your library into the game. They then turned into soldiers with different abilities.
    The coolest gimic was if the song had the word Hero or Super Hero in the title then the monster soldier thing was more rare and more powerful. It to my middle school/ high school mind had a very fun and interesting stories but i never beat it because it drained my battery.

    I fondly remember a game called Song Summoners made by Square Enix, that I had on my 5th gen iPod nano.
    It was a full fledged JRPG with a pretty neat story. The gimmick of the game was that you fought using troops that were generated from the music you had in your library. And they're stats, type, and rarity were all dependant on the song you used to make it.
    I know once the iPod touch came out, they released a new version of the game with a slightly altered story. But I have no idea if either version has been preserved

    Also, the 4th & 5th generation iPod Nano had a game called Maze. It was just like one of those little plastic/cardboard ball mazes you could get at chuck e cheese. You would tilt the iPod in the direction you wanted the ball to roll. Since those two iPods were the only ones with both a click wheel and an accelerometer, the game was never available on any other iPods.

Having said that, I played and owned both Sonic The Hedgehog and Phase (as well as Pac-Man, which was shared on multiple devices, so I don't know where your "one device license" came from). Phase was fun, as it was like a little mobile Guitar Hero with nothing but songs I liked, though it didn't really scale much in its difficulty. Sonic, on the other hand, was addictive as all hell even if its performance was abysmal. The fact that my hormonal ass didn't snap my Classic in a fit of rage is a testament to how much I loved that device.
