Q: Can't find any good iOS 4.2.1 apps

I just restored my iPod, which deleted all the games and things that I had on there. Now when I look them up and try to download them, they say that they need a later iOS. This is really annoying, besides the fact that I lost all my data when I had to restore it. It won't update the iOS any more. Does anyone have suggestions for some good iOS 4.2.1 games?

iPod touch, iOS 4.2

Sorry but the minimum requirement is usually 6.0 or later for apps now.

This may help:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X

You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
