Nintendo recently announced that the much-loved Mario is coming to the App Store on 15 Dec, and will soon be available on Android devices. Called "Super Mario Run", the app is a side-scrolling endless runner style game with two simple goals: collect as many coins as you can and reach the flag pole at the end of the level before the time runs out.
This got us thinking: Besides Super Mario, what other retro and nostalgic games deserve a little mobile love? Here are five that we think should get their own official mobile app.

2. Space Invaders
Before “Dead Space”, “Portal” and all the modern sci-fi alien games, there was “Space Invaders”. The mission is simple: Shoot out all the encroaching aliens before they breach the defence and annihilate all of humanity. The last part is implied, of course, but it was challenging nonetheless – especially when the aliens began speeding up, shooting back and tossing out bonus UFOs to distract you.
