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.

5. Crash Bandicoot
Who can forget the loopy graphics and zany expressions on funny old Crash Bandicoot? His quiet life on the Wumpa Islands is often interrupted by main antagonist Doctor Neo Cortex, who created Crash and now wants him dead.
You can relive your childhood on mobile now with the “Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D” game in the App Store, but it’s just not the same as manoeuvring Crash from over his shoulder as he jumps, leaps and dodges crazy obstacles hurled at him.
