If you don't know what the app is called, and you don't know exactly
what you're looking for (description:  "games I could enjoy while
stuck in the hospital" ... try searching on THAT!), how is the app
available?

No idea.  But now, you're saying basically what I was getting at---if
you DON'T know the name of the app, and what you want is to browse
through ALL of a given category (free games, in this case), you're
up sh*t creek now, as those apps no longer exist.

Fortunately, I checked on another site, and they have LOTS of listings.
I'm going there now to find the games I didn't even know I was looking
for.  :-)
