The telltale lowercase letter. The word Amiga. Yes, it’s a fully working Commodore Amiga emulator for iPhone and it’ll be launching soon – pending deals with the original software publishers to ensure it’s all 100 per cent legal and legit.
Developed by Manomio who has already created a Commodore 64 emulator for iOS and successfully navigated the legal minefield of getting it approved and launched, the maker is currently signing deals with long-dead publishers to ensure there are no issues regarding the use of ROMs. He’s already got famed adventure game maker Cinemaware onboard and is talking to the remaining living representatives of many other Amiga publishers about getting their stuff out there.

I think if anyone made a D-pad and buttons for touchscreens it could be huge. Maybe the PSP phone…
