Elite: Beyond the ZX Spectrum

Having already provided us with a ton of ZX Spectrum classics, Elite is now ready to bring a selection of true retro gems from around the globe to the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. According to the ever excellent TouchArcade more than a few games have already been licensed from German, British and American developers and will very soon be hitting the App Store as individual iOS apps. The first nine games that will be hitting the service include Commodore 64 classics M.U.L.E. and Paradroid, Amiga jaw-dropper First Samurai and the ever exciting Bundesliga Manager. Oh, and they are depicted on the piccie cunningly posted above. As for me, well, I can't wait really...
