Clickwheel iPod games are on the verge of becoming lost media.

They're impossible to buy or redownload from iTunes and protected on existing devices by Apple DRM .

By 2011 , the rise of iOS gaming made these games such an afterthought that Apple removed them from the iTunes store.

The classic iPod community is trying to preserve these games in a way that will let enthusiasts enjoy them on real hardware.
