The First Samurai on iPhone & iPad

The First Samurai was a technical marvel when it appeared on the already ageing Commodore 64 in 1991. It might not have been able to compare itself with to jaw-dropping Amiga version, but its graphics, sound and speed blew anything else the humble 8-bit had to offer out of the water. What's more, this lovely action platformer has aged gracefully and just received a pretty excellent (and excellently priced too) iOS port. Actually two ports; one for the iPhone/iPod Touch and one for the iPad. Go grab it.
