Good cheap nostalgia on iPod

On the iPod (any iTouch gen) there is a port of a great classic: Shining Force for the Sega Genesis. This game was basically the birth-place of all Strategy RPG's, including Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactica. It costs only one US dollar.
Shining Force has great characters, a good storyline, challenging-yet-fun battles, and a little humor thrown in. The game is fairly difficult (I still haven't completed it in 5 months of having it) and doesn't "require" grinding like that in the older FF games. You can grind, and it does help, but it is entirely possible to play through without ever redoing a battle to get more experience.
Bottom line, if you like old strategy games, this is a good choice.
