PLAY GAMES

If you were anxiously waiting to get to this page and see a list of

thousands of iPod games, I’m sorry to disappoint you. Most iPod

models can’t hope to replace the gaming experience that you can have

on Macs, PCs, PDAs, smartphones, Game Boys, or PlayStations, but

if you play games occasionally and you don’t want to buy one of these

other devices, most iPods can keep you entertained, particularly the

5G and 6G iPods, and the 3G nano, which can play games for sale in

the iTunes Store.

Oddly, the iPod touch has no built-in games, and can’t use the ones

available at the iTunes Store, either.

Games on Most iPods

Most iPods (2G–5G iPods, 1 and 2G nanos, and all minis) have four

built-in games. You can find the games by bringing up the main

menu, and choosing Extras > Games:

• Brick: In this “Breakout” style game, you knock out bricks with

a bouncing ball to gain points. The Click Wheel is a perfect inter-

face for this game, as you move your finger clockwise or counter-

clockwise to move the paddle left or right.

• Music Quiz: This is the best game of the bunch. Start the

game, and the iPod plays a tune while showing five song titles

(Figure 63).

The Music Quiz game on the iPod

is a challenge if you have a lot

of music on the device. The score

drops as time passes, so you need

to guess quickly and correctly for

maximum points.

Pick the correct title as soon as possible: as time passes the iPod

eliminates wrong answers so quick responses give you maximum

points. Music Quiz has only one problem: since it picks songs

This is a free sample of “Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music.”
