Maybe you already knew this, but I didn’t, so here it is! Two of the cases from Jake Hunter Detective Chronicles: Memories of the Past can be acquired on iPhone for 3 bucks each. “Seaside City Conspiracy” and “Crash and Burn” are actually vintage cases that were remade for the DS game, and it looks like the same graphics from that DS version are in use here. The presentation is far from ideal, with the game screen in a tiny window, but that’s not really a problem for these games.

These have actually been on the App Store since 2008, it would seem, but maybe you’re just now getting curious about the Jake Hunter/Saburo Jinguuji games, or maybe you’ve just pre-ordered your first iPhone and are looking for some new games. Either way, this is a low-risk entry into the series. Play it on your smoke breaks at work!

There are actually other Jake Hunter games on the App Store, as well as other Workjam games like Theresia, but they’re all in Japanese…

Buy: Jake Hunter Detective Story: Memories of the Past ($15.08!)
