They just released an Atari app for Iphone/Ipad with 100 arcade and Atari 2600 games. It's $.99 for 4 games or all 100 for $15. Haven't played it too much but seems pretty cool on Ipad. The trackball games seem to work pretty well. Of course they are missing some cool games like Quantum and I-Robot. They should have made the option to play 4 player Warlords on one Ipad instead of having the connect.

Just downloaded this. It's amazing. Let's me play some games that I've never played before. Not a fan of some of the controls though. Tempest doesn't have a spinner but more of a up down scroll wheel thing, it works though for what it is. I've honestly never played Major Havok until today and now I need one. That game is tits!
$15 is a steal for all the games you get. A bunch of good atari arcade classics and a crap-ton of 2600 classics. I can only hope they add star-wars, quantum, etc. in additional packs. Also your downloads carry over between iPhone/iPad.

You will never see Quantum, I,Robot or the Star Wars series. Atari is too poor to license these games or franchises from the original owners.
 
Been playing this all morning with people. Combat is great fun multiplayer- as well as warlords and space duel. Its a great little package but here's what I'd like to see in updates:

*full screen option, either no visible or outlined controls. This is a must especially for iPhone players.

*CPO art for all arcade games in some manner.

*Get rid of the obtrusive pause bar at top of the screen and give me either more screenspace for game or the marquee. Don't need to see a pause button.

But all in all a great value and nice little touches such as zoomable flyers and cabinet art.
 
I'm way too cheap too keep paying for these games decade after decade....
If you own a Tempest, Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Centipede uprights, and so on you get the idea...

iMame4all runs great on an iPad from what I hear......:p

If its like the one on my Iphone it out right stinks..The screen is way to small to play and trying to control it sucks even more. It might be better on an ipad for the screens are bigger but on the iphone not..
 
You get pong for free! Yep I suck at that game on the iPhone too.......

I bet the modders are hot for the ICADE...
All the games will probally be on it soon.
Are they going to support a Horizontal one in the future.
I wonder...............
 
Warlords controls fairly well. Mist everything else sucks control-wise. The crappy old port if Centipede on iPhone controls netter than the one here. Oh how I wish the iPhone had a dpad and some buttons!

It does! iMame4all has Wii mote compatability.:D
 
I just download this and tried it out. For $15 bucks not a back deal indeed. Sure it's not the real arcade machine, but on the go, it's a hell of a lot lighter..:D

Pretty decent deal!!

Also as a side note for the 2600 fans that liked the game Atlantis. There is a stand alone Iphone/touch app that is a legit remake of Atlantis from the 2600. Very fun, should give it a try!!!
