Commodore 64 emulator added/removed from iPhone app store

This is a cool app for the iPhone, the ability to play those classic Commodore 64 games from yesteryear on your all in one gadget. It was finally allowed to be sold on the store by Apple, but it has been rapidly removed. Basically people have found out that you can drop into operating system of the emulator itself and run BASIC commands at will. The app itself made the top 20 for sales, so it is obvious people want this app, but seems Apple is worried that you can use your iPhone as a Commodore 64 and do computer related stuff. No news yet when it will reappear for sale.

 

What do you think?

Re: Commodore 64 emulator added/removed from iPhone app store

I'm not too sure what they've got to be worried about here. What sort of damage can you do under BASIC? Lets face it, you only ever bought a Commodore 64 to play all those cartridge games, or if you could afford it, games on a 5 1/4 disk. You also did a little bit of documenting, but most people couldn't afford the printers.

Still, if I had an iPhone, I'd go looking for this app. I've got a lot of old games stored away for my Commodore and Amiga, so if I could find those games remastered, I'd do it.

Will it be, that our legacy, is just the dead machines, of a senseless world?
