Atari Greatest Hits for iPad is a lot of fun and really brings back memories. The cool thing is the app is free and comes with Missile Command, but for additional games you will need to make in app purchases. A couple other caveats is it only runs in Portrait Mode and there is no Pac-Man! But overall it's a lot of fun and you can get your retro gaming on while waiting in line or sneaking in some game play at work.
