“Parking Mania Free” App for iPhones

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012


Parking Mania Free is a traffic game / app for iPhone users that gives a pretty close idea to how difficult it can be to move a tractor-trailer in heavy traffic situations such as a city. You do have to get through some smaller, cars oriented levels in order to get to the big rigs, but it is worth your time to check out.
