can't get angry birds on ipod touch 2g

I got the paid version of Angry Birds and since my computer doesn't want to work anymore, I can't get it back. I attempted to get the app on my ipod but I get this message......

Its been about 8 months since I got the app. I'm running iOS 4.2.1


ALSO: If I would be able to get it back (after my computer is repair) is the older version still playable.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

Identifying iPod models


iPod touch (3rd generation)

iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.

The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync. You can only get the current version of apps from the App store.
