I have the same problem also. Just bought 2 ipod touch 1st generation for my daughters. The popular games such as Angry Birds, Where is my water, ut the rope, etc will not work. I have the latest version OS 3.1.3 on them. Really wish Apple would make finding apps more easy, by letting you refine the search by OS.
Here are some games, (kids) that do work: 123 Color HD Mega Panda Air Penguin Scoops Dizzy Bee Doodle Jump Free Yellow Fins Lingu Pingu Paint Sparkles Hamster Ball Birds'n'Blocks Birds'n'Blocks 2 Bed Bugs Lite These were all free, but i wouldn't mind buying apps if they either if they are good and work on the first generation ipod touch. Hope this helps somebody, will add more as I find them. I have a 1st gen iPhone (that I use with a 'pre-paid' wireless account).
1st gen iPhone is basically like a 1st gen iPod touch, in terms of OS upgrade limitation (3.1.3) and apps it can run (I don't have a 1st gen iPod touch). Try the approach I described in my first reply (to the original topic poster).
You should find plenty of older apps (including games) that work with a 1st gen iPod touch that runs 3.1.3. In fact, you should try it now, even if the OS is only 2.2.1 currently.
That way, you can try it with some free apps before paying the $4.95 to upgrade the OS to 3.1.3. 1st gen iPod touch runs up to iPhone OS 3.1.3. So first, make sure you have updated the OS to the latest possible version. You can check on the iPod's Summary tab, when the iPod is connected and selected in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. After that, it's just a matter of finding a game works with 3.1.3.

Use iTunes on your computer, instead of trying to use the App Store on the iPod's small screen. The OS requirement is stated in the game description, where it says Requirements. This is how I would find games that work with 3.1.3, because the currently 'featured' games are too new. On the iTunes Store screen, select the App Store and the Games category. Toward the top, make sure you are filtering on iPhone apps (not iPad).
At the bottom of the column along the right side of the screen, find MORE GAMES and select a type of game, such as Action. Find the section that says All Action iPhone Apps, select to filter on Paid or Free, and click on See All. Where it says Sort By, select Release Date. The listing is now sorted by release date of the game, from newest to oldest. Since games that support 3.1.3 are more likely to be older, at the bottom of the listing, go to the LAST available page. You can start from there and work your way forward 'in time.'
П™‚ Happy hunting. Sorry about that.
The following are the top free Apple TV games in all categories in the iTunes App Store based on downloads by all Apple TV users in the United States. Whether you're planning a harvest season party, taking the kids apple-picking or throwing a birthday bash at any time of year, the apple is a sweet theme for a kids' celebration. If you're hosting one of these events, check out these apple party games for your list of fun activities.
I forgot that early iPod touch OS upgrades (before iOS 4) carried a small fee ($4.95 in this case for upgrading the OS). Because of the way Apple did their 'accounting' back then, they did not charge for the same iPhone upgrade, but said they were required to charge a nominal fee for iPod touch.
Starting with iOS 4, there was no fee for both iPod touch and iPhone OS upgrades. Unfortunately, the 1st gen iPod touch (like the first gen iPhone) cannot run iOS 4. This article has the details about how to do it, including the link to purchase the upgrade. Since it's version 3.1, you may need to follow the previously linked article to update from 3.1 to 3.1.3 (unless '3.1' means 3.1.3 is installed).
That one is free. I have a 1st gen iPhone (that I use with a 'pre-paid' wireless account). 1st gen iPhone is basically like a 1st gen iPod touch, in terms of OS upgrade limitation (3.1.3) and apps it can run (I don't have a 1st gen iPod touch).

Hope this helps somebody, will add more as I find them. I have a special place in my heart for the older devices. Hopefully the stars will show up on everyone's computers, the stars next to the apps mean those will work with the 1st generation devices (Along with the 2nd generation devices) the ones with out the stars will work with the 2nd generation devices only, but all apps on the list should work with the 2nd generations. There are still very many more apps that will work in the AppStore, it just takes some hunting!
Don't look on the featured app page, all of those will be too new. Search for generic things, and I found that sorting by release date gives me the best luck!

I recently decided to resuscitate my first generation iphone for my 5-year-old-daughter to play with because she keeps stealing my ipad mini. П™‚ But, like most people, I had a devil of a time trying to figure out which apps would work and which ones wouldn't. Once I'm done, I will definitely contribute to this thread my own findings.
I don't see any stars on the above list though. Can anybody give me a list of specifically 3.1.3 (7E18) apps that work? Thanks in advance! Apple Footer.

Very few games have as many customer reviews as Fruit Ninja HD (nearing 10,000 now) and still stayed above 4 stars, and there is a reason why so few people find themselves disappointed with their purchase. Fruit Ninja is good, old-fashioned slicing and dicing fun with a simple concept and yet enough challenge to keep you swiping. The goal: slice as much fruit as you can without slicing through a bomb and blowing your virtual finger off. And if you like to try before you buy, there's a lite version available.
