    Hey guys a new game called Spectre has been submitted to Apple!


    Welcome to the Cyberwar! Join the non-stop action in a 3D virtual battlefield. Take control of your cybertank with a huge assortment of weapons and power-ups as you blast your way through cyberspace!

    Spectre is a remake of the 1990's retro game classic that takes place in a virtual cyberspace world. Spectre's simple but addictive game play is easy to learn, but hard to master!

    Spectre includes two single player and four multiplayer games, with the ability to play either competitive or cooperative modes via Bluetooth, Internet/WiFi, or 3G.

    One of the most unique and popular aspects of Spectre is the various types of multiplayer games. Once you are connected, you can look for your friend’s names above their cybertanks - whether they are playing across the room or across the country!

    Multiplayer game access is fast and easy, allowing you to quickly host or join online games. Dedicated multiplayer game servers are also available in Spectre’s online Lobby, where you can join the ongoing action against other players and battle-ready, artificially-intelligent Cyberbots!

    Transporting you even deeper into the virtual cyberworld, Spectre also includes an option for 3D anaglyph stereographic support! (3D glasses sold separately)

    Single player games included:

    * Spectre Classic
    * Spectre VR


    Multiplayer games included:

    * Arena
    * Capture the Flag
    * Flag Rally
    * Base Raid


    Features:

    * Up to 4 players over Bluetooth
    * Up to 16 players via Internet or WiFi
    * Totally customizable online game options and weapons configurations
    * Weapons, shield and flight energy power-ups
    * Host human versus Cyberbot online team battles
    * Incredibly challenging, all-new “Base Raid” multiplayer game
    * Defensive tactics include hyperspace teleporting and jump-strafing
    * Spectre is the first-ever online, multi-player, stereo-3D game!


    System requirements:

    * iPhone and iPod Touch devices running iPhone OS 3.1.3 or later.
    * Runs on iPad in compatbility mode.

    to die
    where rice paddies grow...
    it is kind of like vector tanks,
    multiplayer is fun, you can play against bots, and others can join in as well
    in multiplayer you can choose a secondary weapon, fly, teleport pick up etc
    oh and either fp view, behind, or top down view

    ditto

    I always loved this game on my old Mac LC III, it is fast and fun even with single player only. Multiplayer completely justifies the price. And it is great they included both game modes.

    It's not bad, by any means, but in my opinion it just doesn't work well on the small screen. Radar dots, which are essential to gameplay, are difficult to distinguish.


    edit:
    It was a better experience on iPad than on the 2nd gen iTouch due to the radar dots being easier to distinguish, but that came at the price of a lot of jaggies. Still pretty fun, however. Here are a few screenshots of Spectre on iPad. In some way the game looks much better in motion, but there is quite a lot of horizontal rippling which may have been unavoidable in a port of this nature.
