I have a very old iPad too (I think mine is about as old as yours). I only use this iPad for 1 game and mostly because less and less games have support on older iPads and why buy a new iPad every year or few years on top of phones when they work fine until they stop being supported (just sounds like money grab)- lack of support on iPads (maybe all tablets) is probably why they are used less and less.

I never bought my iPad it was a gift and I am never buying one because of this very reason. If I am gifted one- fine, if not I am sticking to my desktop.
