I can't believe no one's mentioned that the EXCELLENT Alien Breed is out now, and supports iCade!!

Add Agent Dash and Subway Surfers to my iCade-support-please wishlist: so far they lack iCade support, but I love using iCade for Temple Run.

Looks good! And another iCade-ready Amiga classic, Warblade, is on $1 sale right now:

Anyone know if Centipede Origins supports iCade? Came out recently, but no mention in description.

I think someone unofficially said (not sure where) that iCade support was planned, but not currently present.

Anyone have an iCade Core? I’m tempted to pick one up sometime for greater portability (but still full size) and easier playing of iCade games with a TV/projector.

By the way, apparently, both Metal Slug 3 and Blazing Star support iCade, although there’s a trick for getting it to work:

I haven’t tried yet.

Hello... Does anyone know if Galaga will be supported? Just got the iCade and would love to try it... Thanks

I believe Galaga Remix (iPhone) and Galaga 30th do NOT work, from others’ comments. I believe Namco Arcade (free to try) has only ONE game that supports iCade, and it’s Galaga! But you can only play once per day without digging into confusing IAP options, and Galaga only runs in landscape, which is a waste of screen space.

Warblade HD is Galaga-like (it’s an old Amiga game) and currently on $1 sale:

Other somewhat Galaga-esque games for iCade include Velocispider, Super Ox Wars, and various “bullet hell” games if you like those, such as Phoenix HD and Shogun: Bullet Hell Shooter.

I just tried a few games on Namco Arcade and all supported iCade. Forced horizontal only orientation is annoying though. iCade also supports game select screen. You can even coin up and start game with white buttons.

I wish Namco Arcade would 1) release more games and 2) come up with proper prices not silly over the top ones.

Eg Midway Arcade is 69p per game pack (4 games), Namco Arcade is 1.99 or 2.99 PER game. Just ridiculous. If Namco Arcade had a lot of games (and normal prices, even the Capcom one was cheaper) it would be great.

Anyway just got my ipad 3, was very nervous in case someone iMame wouldnt install on it (Someone earlier in this thread said they had a popup saying it wouldnt install), all good - phewwwwwwww

iCade Core = iCade with the cabinet bits not attached.

Projector = HDMI adapter + HDMI cable. I've done the latter and it works quite well.

That’s great to hear! Initial reports said only Galaga (and that’s the only one I tried). Still hoping they adjust their business model, though—and the app is so half-baked I hesitate to pay in its current form.

Yes, me too—great for Temple Run! And I can sit anywhere with the controls, thanks to Bluetooth, and just go over to the iPad to do the menus in some games. Still, the iCade Core would be nice—I would just sit it on my lap or a small table when I sit on the couch (iPad not inserted) and the big iCade housing would not be in the way of seeing the screen. Also would be more portable to take places: a bag with my iPad, iCade Core (or 8-Bitty?) and my portable projector would be a lot of gaming fun in a small volume!

I’ve also used iCade with Mac games on the projector. It pairs like a keyboard, despite the Mac not knowing what kind of keyboard it is. (But configuring the controls for Mac/PC takes some doing.)
