Are there any free classic arcade games for iOS v8.1.3 like Gauntlet,
Pac-Man, etc.? I read that emulators can't be done unless iOS is jail
broken. :(

Thank you in advance. :)

why worry about it? Hey, this is making me feel better." "Well, that's

Visit you iOS store and search for "MAME". It should tell you whether you
need to jail break it.

For Android there is no need for doing this for MAME.

I use a Unix based operating system, which means I get laid almost as often
as I have to reboot my computer.

If an app cannot be installed without jailbreaking it will not be
allowed on Apple's iOS store in the first place.
