If you even slightly like Boggle/Scrabble/etc., get ShakeSpell. There's a free version. You will be hooked before your first game ends. Other games I recommend are Sol Free (Solitaire), iBall3D (Labyrinth), Bix Lite (similar to JezzBall) and PenguinLite (the closest thing we have so far to YetiSports).
If you like to listen to soothing sounds while you fall asleep, WhiteNoise and Silent Island both have free versions (although I ultimately sprang for the full version of Silent Island).
The Bible app by YouVersion has a good selection of translations, both online and downloadable (offline).
InfiniteSMS lets you send and receive unlimited texts through your Gmail account. I think I paid a couple dollars for it.
eBay. PayPal. WootWatch. PhoneFlix. Google Earth. HopStop. Flixster.
Free RSS is good if you like to keep up with blogs. Discover is good for tranferring files to/from your Touch wirelessly (and it's free).
Units is a good tool for quick conversions (Area, Currency, Temperature, Time, Length, etc.)
VNC Lite is a remote desktop app. It's okay for what it is.
The Zippo Lighter app is free and fun. iHandy Level could come in handy, but so far for me it's just been fun to look at.

I'm 22 and know exactly what Oregon Trail is. My sister is 20 and knows exactly what it is. He's not too young.

It came out in 85 but every school I've ever heard of had it on those old green screen Apple computers in their computer lab. You got to play one day a week after you did the keyboard class.

The Oregon Trail was a favorite after "lights out" passtime my freshman year for those with IIes but no TVs.

It's not Beth's fault you thought you could caulk the wagon and float it across the Green River, you should have paid the Indian to help you ferry it.

I'm 24 and played it in elementary school, but it wasn't the 1985 version, it was the 90s version that had improved graphics and used the mouse and other stuff. the original looks like a DOS game.
example of what it looked like in my elementary school days
