8-Bit Goodness In The App Store
July 19, 2010
Miss the days of slapping quarters into an oversized electronic coffee table? Sad your mom sold your ColecoVision? Now there is something just for you in the App Store.
The new Retro Games section of the App Store features vintage titles, as well as reimagined versions of vintage titles. Titles in the Retro Games section include Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Frogger, Doom Classic, Myst, Final Fantasy II, Oregon Trail and Pole Position. The vintage titles are as close to original as possible but modified for the iDevice's touch and motion controls.
The reimagined games usually involve updated graphics, new levels, and new modes of gameplay from their original counterparts. Many of the these titles include a "classic" mode for those who want to still be able to play the classic version.
While these games are not new, this is the first time Apple has seen a need to market these titles together. Next time you get nostalgic for your Commodore 64, be sure to check this section out.
