? TouchArcade.com Says:
In its 1996 anniversary issue, Computer Gaming World listed the game as #147 in the “Top 150 Best Video Games of All Time.” It has been inspiration for many dungeon crawlers created since…
The iPhone version, with which I’ve spent notable time this weekend, features completely redone graphics utilizing OpenGL ES to add depth to the stony visuals. It allows for pinch-and-spread zoom control to focus on the action at hand and features an optional on-screen mini map to aid in negotiating the twists and turns of each dungeon level. What’s more, Paul has implemented a full, real-time music synthesizer system for the game which delivers sound that, while ringing of retro, surpasses the quality of the C64’s SID-based score.
But, really, what makes the game so well suited for the iPhone is its casual nature as compared to the typical roguelike. And that’s not to say the game is shallow or light on dungeon crawling action, but rather I feel it’s simply a bit more accessible to the typical gamer than, say, Nethack, Moria, or Rogue thanks to an economy of controls, spells, and the like.

Fargoal has been beautifully polished in the visuals department without getting too far from the original game’s quirky charm and retro stylings … It’s playable and addictive, perfect fodder for the iPhone / iPod Touch, and certainly one of the best mini-adventures you can get.

Beschreibung zu Mastermind aus dem AppStore:
Be a code-breaker, guess the secret code pattern setup in both color and order. Play in two modes, choose from color and symbols (useful for colour-blind person). Beautiful glossy interface. Four levels of difficulty, sounds.
