Hello.

Are there any free classic arcade games for iOS v8.1.3 like Gauntlet,
Pac-Man, etc.? I read that emulators can't be done unless iOS is jail
broken. :(

Thank you in advance. :)

ants, trying to figure out which ones were good, and which ones were
bad, but they all just looked like ants, so I started smiting all of
them." "Well that's not --" "I was smiting them with the garden hose,
and with lighter fluid, and with the lawnmower, and to be perfectly
honest, I think I went a little crazy with the shovel. Those ants could
have been praying to me all day, I wouldn't have heard them." "There was
nothing they could do about it." "But, I don't think --" "Really, it's
the same with us. There's nothing we can do about anything either, so
why worry about it? Hey, this is making me feel better." "Well, that's
good, but --" "I guess all we can do is live our lives with as much
kindness and decency as possible, and try not to dwell on God standing
over us with a giant shovel."...--Dewey and Teacher in Day Care episode

Visit you iOS store and search for "MAME". It should tell you whether you
need to jail break it.

For Android there is no need for doing this for MAME.

I use a Unix based operating system, which means I get laid almost as often
as I have to reboot my computer.

If an app cannot be installed without jailbreaking it will not be
allowed on Apple's iOS store in the first place.
