I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?

The Infinity Blade series on the iPhone. You can't buy them anymore and I'm not sure you can download them even if you own them. They wouldn't work on a modern iPhone anyway because you need some old version of ios. You can't really emulate it them a useful way either. So the only way would be to get an old iphone/iPod touch, jailbreak it and sideload the .ipa if you can still find it somewhere.

Shame because I really enjoyed those games and anything remaining of the franchise has been absorbed into fortnite meaning there will never be another sequel.

Imagine taking the best game on the platform in its prime, locking it up, and making a fucking fortnite skin out of it. That is the sad tale of Infinity Blade.
