Commodore 64 1.2 released in the App Store with three new free games

The creators of Commodore 64, that emulator app that eventually gained Apple's blessing, emailed to say that they have released a brand new version [iTunes link] with some brand new (old) C64 games to revisit. The gist of this one is that you can buy C64 ROMs to play through in-app purchases, but right out of the gate with version 1.2, three different games are free: Bruce Lee, Laser Squad, and Samurai Warrior. So if any of those ring your nostalgic bell, you can go jump in on the app now -- it's $1.99.

If you want to add in some extra games, it'll cost you 99 cents each, but they've now made Alleykat, Uridium, Paradroid, Stormlord and Nebulus all available that way. Unfortunately, not all emulator developers have been able to secure such a deal with Apple, but C64 enthusiasts have to be excited about what's available with this one.

Ahaha, oh come on. The NES emulator getting taken off was nothing to do with the developer not making a deal with Apple, but them not making a deal with Nintendo! Jeez.

And the fact that you could load your own ROMs onto it -- which breaks the developer agreement with Apple. That more than anything else would be the reason why the NES app is no longer available.

MAME with download of legal ROMs would be huge!

Are you sure it's on sale for $1.99? It's showing up as $2.99 in the App Store and other places like BargainBin, PandoraBox, and AppShopper.com. I think you've got a typo!
