It’s the game many regard as the greatest ever made, and now David Braben’s defining space epic Elite is making its way to iPhone thanks to Manomio’s C64 emulator app.
TouchArcade reports that a list of upcoming new titles temporarily appeared on the titles in-game store, with Elite being amongst those mentioned.
Other titles seemingly on the way include International Karate, Micropose Soccer, Jumpman, Druid, Wizball and Trailblazer.
The additions come as part of the v1.4 update for the app C64. New features include OpenFeint leaderboard integration, with some titles also getting OpenFeint Achievement functionality.
The update is also said to increase the overall performance of the app – owners of either the iPhone 3GS or the latest iPod Touch models can expect titles to run at around 50fps.
Manomio’s C64 app is now an established favourite on the App store after a troubled history. Its development saw it removed from the portal not once, but twice before Apple was comfortable with its emulating properties.
