Its gonna suck
- you know why? -

because the iphone is NOT a gaming device.  There are no buttons - which means your fingers are usually obstructing the game screen...  and usually miss the action intended (oops I missed the jump "button")
..  are there ANY good games on the iphone ?

Nice spot Bearclaw. Started a discussion about this over at EAB too.

What I don't understand is, how does this work?

Have they used UAE/WinUAE code and just re-packaged it to sell? Can't imagine they built it from scratch.

What about kickstart ROMS? Have they bought the rights to use the code or re-engineered a work around?

How are you going to control the characters without a joystick? A touch pad sounds a bit rubbish.

Questions, questions questions........

all seems a bit fishy to me.

I doubt it even has Archer MacLean's blessing tbh.


i dont think fingers obstructing the game is an issue though, as i suspect an area of the screen is reserved for the control "buttons" - if i had an iPhone, i'd probably buy it out of curiosity. iPhone "not being a gaming device" certainly isnt the issue here, loads of people play games on it quite happily.


i suspect the source of the emulator is eUAE or UAE4ALL and the kick-rom packaged in illegally -but that is idle speculation.

my guess would be that they just ripped the grafic from it and made it into a new build... if that makes sence from a non-programmer

from the way they are talking about doing other Amiga games, i really doubt that.

flashback has already been ported by these guys...  and I had a shot at it a few weeks ago,...

verdict: very good port, but naff controls due to no physical buttons
