    I was a big fan of Missile Command as a kid and this game is similar with beautiful graphics. There is a bug where the banner stays on the screen too long when a round starts, but it is available for free.

    In this fun game you have to strategize about where you will draw lines to have all of the marbles fall into the jar when the line holding them back is erased.
