With your Jailbroken iPod Touch, you can use the ScummVM game emulator to natively play a lot of classic games. The ScummVM wiki assures us that although it started as LucasArt’s only games, it’s since evolved for much more.

1. Open Installer.app on a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch. Jailbreak guide.
2. Tap the “Sources” button in the bottom-right corner.
3. Tap the “Edit” button in the top-right corner.
4. Tap the “Add” button in the top-left corner.
5. Enter http://urbanfanatics.com/scummvm.xml into the text area and tap “OK”.
6. Installer will refresh your sources. It may close. If so, reopen it.
7. ScummVM is now available for install in the Games section.

From the wiki:

You need original disks to run the games. We will not give support to anyone using illegal copies of the games. The only two games which are legal to download (Flight of the Amazon Queen and Beneath a Steel Sky) can be found at our downloads page. A number of games are still on sale, and for games not in the list go to eBay, into your attic or sometimes they’re still in local bargain bins.

For people with bricked Fatal Error iPods, an easy fix is available:

1. Exit itunes.
2. With the touch plugged in, hold sleep and home button until it shuts off, but KEEP holding them until the apple comes back on.
3. When you see the apple, let go of the sleep button but still hold the home button until the “connect to iTunes” screen appears.
4. Then, start up iTunes and it should recognize that your ipod needs to be restored and it worked for me that time.
