Mobile games publisher Elite Systems [1] today announced a bundled release of Sinclair ZX Spectrum games for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Approved by Apple earlier today, ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection (Vol. 1) is a bundle of officially-licensed games first developed for the popular 8-bit 80s home computer [2].
The titles feature game-specific play controls, authentic Spectrum sound and the option of landscape and portrait display modes.
Elite is announcing the ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection release date along with a preview video this week on YouTube.
If you can't wait for the taste of nostalgia, you can play many ZX Spectrum games [3] online for free.
Additionally, owners of the intellectual property of ZX Spectrum games can commission Elite to retro-fit their titles for mobile gaming, through an in-app purchase or inclusion in future bundles, or to produce several games into similar bundle packs for self-publication.
