Since the operating systems our computers run today look nothing like anything that people in 1981 rocked, a good samaritan has released the iconic game to Apple’s iPhone and Apple Watch devices.

"For the first time on watchOS and iOS, relive the classic game that started it all! Beat the DONKEYS and become the top driver you're born to be!" the energetic app description reads.
Now all we can hope for is an iPhone app for this iconic game, too.
