MystT.G.I.F., right? For so many different reasons, we love Fridays. Maybe you are leaving for the weekend as soon as the clock strikes five. Maybe there is a great concert downtown that you’ve been looking forward to for a month. Here at PadGadget, we look forward to Fridays because it is the day that we look backward to our youth. Every Friday, we spotlight games and apps that are classic arcade games from decades ago, or at least remind us of them.

Last week, we told you about a choose-you-own adventure app based on the Fantasy Flight gamebooks from the 1980s.

This week, we skip forward a decade, to a time when PC games were big and epic puzzle adventures were the rage. Cyan Worlds created a monster of a puzzle game that, to this day, is as good as, or even better than most others in the genre.

Pegatron CEOEarlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Apple parts supplier Pegatron was forecasting its “biggest drop in consumer-electronics revenue in six quarters as iPad mini demand falls.” Pegatron CEO Jason Cheng later claimed that the article, penned by Tim Culpan, was merely speculation and not based in fact.

That’s not to say that Pegatron isn’t seeing a drop in numbers, it’s just that Cheng never mentioned products or companies by name. Culpan, apparently, added the bit about the iPad mini on his own.

According to a report from CNNMoney’s Apple 2.0 department, Cheng told investors the potential outlook for Pegatron at the company’s Institutional Investors Conference. He spoke about the category of consumer electronic products, which does include tablets, but never gave details on products or customers.
