The community-led iPod Clickwheel Games Preservation Project has successfully compiled a complete collection of all 54 titles that Apple once sold in the late 2000s. For the first time, the games are accessible together in a format that works across supported iPod models.
The effort, spearheaded by GitHub user Olsro, began in 2024, thirteen years after Apple removed the clickwheel games from the iTunes store. While there were archives of the IPG files out there, they weren’t particularly useful, as Apple’s FairPlay DRM rendered them unplayable.
