My game Blast Ball just released with iCade support!
It has a unique retro vector style that's perfect for the iCade. Check it out:

Yes it's an original version and not a remake.

As i said if there's enough demand we can definitely get the ball rolling further with a 2 player mode.

Also, iCade support is included in both the iPad and iPhone versions of our apps. I also think the icontrol pad works too although the fire buttons get implemented in odd positions i think. Can't beat the iCade tho

Looks really fun. Lots of varied gameplay, neat effects and retro appeal. Will have to pick this one up.

Any chance iCade support was broken with last Haunted Hallway update? Not working for me at all. Tried rebooting iPad and syncing to iCade prior to launching app with no benefit.

In addition to Haunted Hallway (iCade returning after a fix), Helium Boy is free today as well.

I just submitted the update to fix iCade support for Haunted Hallway. Apple usually takes about a week to approve updates, so it should be up about then.

Default Mini review of Retro Games HD

Here is my mini review of Retro Games HD. AKA World of Retro Computer Games by Elite Systems Ltd.
http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpo...40&postcount=9

I bought it for the combination of iCade support, Archon (C64 version) and 99c price tag. Barbarian and some other C64 games are included in the price.

Thanks for the review. I’d love it if they added Archon II: Adept as they hope.

(But really I want the 16-bit/Amiga versions of Archon and Archon II.)

Actually, I want the new Archon Conquest to gain iPad and iCade support. No updates since 2009!

Yes. I am almost inspired to contact React Games. I am sure sales are pretty slow now and iCade support may give them a welcome little spike for awhile. Both Archon and Archon Conquest would play great with the iCade. There is no Universal or iPad version of these games though. That could put off a few iCade/Archon lovers.
