Now someone needs to bring out a classic and updated version of Kaboom! Using your finger to move the buckets would be sweet !! Please Activision, Please !!

Adventure was my favorite Atari game when I was young. I downloaded and installed this right away. I'm surprised that after nearly 30 years I still remembered the way through the maze immediately.

CT – Apple and Pete would get cease and desist notices. It's a still actively used and protected IP, and even free downloads devalue that IP.

Adventure on the iPhone is all fine and well… But how about 3D Adventure as a Quake mod???

also river run would do well with iphone tilt controls.
kaboom would work great with touch
if only apple would allow emulators

Ok, now we need Demon Attack and Yar's Revenge. I play the hell out of 2600 Demon Attack on my GP2X under Stella.

Does it have the secret author screen that was in the original?

This is not only awesome, it's wildly coincidental. Yesterday I was telling my 5 and 7 year old boys about how I used to play Atari 2600 and Adventure when I was a kid. We got home and low-and-behold, the game is released for the iPod touch. Needless to say, I downloaded it and showed it to them. The tilt controls for moving are a little weird, but none-the-less it is great, and well timed!

Peter! When I wrote this post, the familiarity of your name triggered something in my mind, but I didn't follow up. I've updated the story to include a link to your site any my writeup of your wonderful Luna City Arcade.

(I got the invite for a game day, back in April or so, but had to leave town that weekend. I can't wait to set foot in your arcade sometime soon!)
