Keeps Crashing!!
Nothing more to say. Since the recent update, it crashes upon launching on my 4S. Please fix!!!
Great memories
I purchased this for the iap of the game Barbarian. It is great and just how I remember it. The goblin taking its victim back to its lair always made me smile. This was the original mortal kombat fighting game. It even had a decapitating finishing move, if you timed it correctly. I also like that you can adjust and move the controls around. Fantastic job devs, Thanks for bringing a forgotten favorite back to life!
AWESOME APP!
Latest version crashes on ios 5, iPod touch 4G and no jailbreak
Once I figured out how to change the control method this app is AMAZING and WORTH IT HAS ALL THE GAMES.
Please add BASIC for ZX, I would give it FULL stars, it would even beat the C64 app!
EDIT: an app called Spectulator has entered the app store it is AWESOME plus BASIC and has FREE GAMES for the Same price!!!
