How do I find a game that I used to have?

When I had a different iPad, I used to be able to find all my downloads easily, but I don’t seem to be able to find them anymore. I had a game I really liked, but can’t recall the name so doing a search in the App Store is impossible! Is there a way to find previous downloads (not paid)?

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4.1

If you still can’t find it or download it, sometimes apps are pulled from the app store. I had a couple of games that the developer abandoned and were then pulled. With iOS11, all 32 bit apps are no longer supported on the current iOS operating system. Some developers fixed their apps to run on 64 bit, others did not, which can be another reason for an app to essentially go away.


I’ve also seen apps be relaunched under a slightly different name, so you could try searching by variations of the theme or name or kind of app it was
