    I have not shed a tear because I missed Baby Shaker, but I am still kicking myself for letting Netshare slip through my fingers. It even came back for a while after it was first pulled.

    Yeah I'm not worried about baby shaker. The sad face was for netshare. Although now, I've had the tethering in the 3.0 beta, so it's all good.

    I found another one. A Tetris-like game called Shaker by Phunkware. It appears Phunkware is now dephunkt.

    What is the tricorder game about?

    Duckhunt is bad. I have it but only played it a few minutes after losing complete interest.

    I too deleted Blip Solitaire =\

    Nice collection, Palfince. Thanks for sharing the screens. :)

    The ship in Dreigit looks like the Galaga ship. Is that why it was pulled?

    You may notice the time in my Tris screenshot is 4:20. That was unintentional but still amusing. Is the high score of 666 intentional?

    Removed apps or total?

    From the removed apps list I have found 9 that I still have.

    Total, over a 1,000 + the files I deleted from iTunes (Like all the lite versions). So a lot.

    1. Tricorder is little more than a mock tricorder. I mentioned earlier that this thread will surely venture into gray areas, and this is one of them. Not really a game, though it is heaps of fun to tell people they have diseases from Uranus.

    2. I hope you downloaded the DuckHunt v1.1 update while it was available. It significantly improved the controls and reintroduced the dog. I once opened the .ipa to discover the sprites and sounds for the clay pigeons are there. Sadly we didn't see the v1.2 update that would have let us play that round. Anyway, try it again if you have it.

    I like my collection of removed apps. :D

    I think Dreigit was just pulled because it was an asteroids clone and it was early in the App Store's life so they were al removed. I'm not sure though. It's definitely not because of the ship because the developer (CraicDesign) used the same ship in their newer game Shoot-Em-Up.

    The 666 highscore is the pre-set one, I only put the game back on my iPod to take the screenshot.

    Sean McNamara's Invaders is gone as well. You are lucky if you managed to snatch it up while you could. It is arguably better than TAITO's lazy port (which I also bought.) Sean McNamara's Invaders is on the left. TAITO's Space Invaders is on the right.

    I have dropship, I really liked that game for a while, but I found it to get very buggy in the later levels.

    I also have tris, and can only play it for 5 minutes before the bad controls screw up my game and I quit.
