I paid for this game in 2021 because I wanted to play Fruit Ninja now and then and I didn’t want to deal with ads or all the weird stuff in the newer version. It is now unplayable without paying for the stupid new subscription service. They’ve basically just stolen the money I paid them now.

Subscription service for an old single player game is bullshit. This is my current beef with nintendo, aside from trying to kill the emulation community. I just got a switch light. I found they even offer old NES games for free in a bundle. Oh but you have to sign up for their subscription service, two weeks free! I gotta pay six bucks a month and always be online to play ancient once practically abandonware single payer games from before the internet was even a thing.

Remember, you don’t own shit unless you have it in physical media.

EDIT: IOS

I just followed this guide and got an older version working like a charm.

Its from the apple servers so appears legally sound. The official half-brick site says this thing “is not possible”.

The only shame is you need windows for the itunes version but that isn’t a problem for most people i recon.
