Hello,
This week I found the delisted iOS game "Queen's Crown"; most uploads of it were taken down from the file hosting sites they were on, or the uploads expired, or the file hosting sites themselves shut down. But I managed to find two uploads of it that survived.
I first found the original version 1.0.0 on an old Usenet upload of an iOS app warez pack that was thankfully still in my newsreader's retention. I thought that was all I'd be able to find, then today I did some more Google searching and I found the last updated version 1.1.3 on a Vietnamese site (don't worry, the game is still in English). The site is for a third-party unofficial app store, I had to pull the actual download URL from the page source (it only showed a button to download their app), but miraculously the hosted download was still active. (There was also a download for 1.1.2 that was dead, and a download for 1.1.1 that is password protected but the password is lost. But I didn't need those, as they are older versions of the game anyways.)
I was able to install the game to a non-jailbroken phone with Cydia Impactor, but I couldn't actually play it on my iPhone 6 because of the screen size difference messing up the ability to click the "Agree" button. I was able to get it to work on my old iPhone 3G that I still have. So until someone comes up with an emulator for older iPhones/iOS versions that lets you install apps into it, you will need an older iPhone (3 or 4, not even sure if the 5 series will work), and preferably an older version of iOS too.
Details and links of how to get it are on the wiki article: lostmediawiki.com/Queen%27s_Crown_(found_de-listed_iOS_game;_2009-2013)
