iPod game

Article summary

An iPod click wheel game (or simply iPod game) is a video game designed for the Apple iPod, a portable media player. The original iPod included the game Brick (originally invented by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak) as a hidden easter egg; later firmware versions added it as a standard menu option. Subsequent revisions of the iPod added three more games: Parachute, Solitaire, and Music Quiz. Apple eventually offered third-party iPod games for sale through the iTunes Store. These games are distinct from games for the iPod Touch, which require iOS and are distributed exclusively through the App Store. The third-generation iPod (released in 2003) featured Brick, Music Quiz, Parachute, and Solitaire natively accessible via the "Extras" menu. On the original first-generation iPod, Brick was initially accessible only by navigating to the "About" screen and holding the center button for several seconds.
