Current list of kid games for iOS 4.2.1?

I am giving my 2nd gen iPod Touch running 4.2.1 to my 10 y/o granddaughter. Does anyone have a CURRENT list of games/apps that will still run under this iOS? Older threads give lists or links, but so far what I have found is that most all of those listed have now been updated to run under only later versions of the iOS, from 4.3 and up. So far I have found only the following:

CheeseMan

Cowabunga

HarborFree

Angry Birds Seasons

Air Penguin

Any others?? Thanks!

Good news - Apple recently began allowing downloads of older versions of apps - https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/news/09-17-13-apple-allows-downloads- of-older-versions-of-apps

For info, with the rollout of iOS 7, Apple is not allowing redownload older versions of apps compatible with iOSi 4.2.1 (but no 3.1.3). See:

Hi lllaass,

I don't see anything in there that says that Apple is not allowing downloads of older versions compatible with iOS 4.2.1. We've tested this on a 2nd generation iPod touch and it does indeed offer an older app version. Can you clarify?

I think Lllaass accidentally wrote not instead of now.

(Sorry if I'm putting words in your mouth.)
