C64 Emulator Finally Approved For iPhone 214
Gi0 writes "After a couple of months of rejection, the C64 Emulator has finally been approved for the iPhone (and is available at the app store now). 'BASIC has been removed for this release; however, we hope that working with Apple further will allow us to re-enable it. Despite its absence, BASIC is not our focus; ultimately, fans of the C64 want games.' It comes with 5 bundled games and will certainly give you that retro fix for your iPhone."

"No programming on your iPhone, poseurs.
The iPhone is only to be used for gay, Apple approved activities, like soliciting meth and sex on Cragslist. "

I hated that *^*%* game!
Played it for about a week just trying to get to the end. It required split-second skills to get past some of the guys. One night I finally get past the last guy and when I finnnaaallly get to the girl... she knifes me.
I was so pissed, I literally threw the floppy disk out the window. Nearly 20 years later I learned it was some dude in drag, and the real girl was behind "him".
Ohhh, and fuck that bird.
Video games have not been that hard for a long time.

I think I've run it on a pre 20th century Nokia phone.
Did it have a big crank on the side?

Debugging something like
1000 DATA 123, 6, 43, 69, 240, 122, 51
2000 DATA 120, 120, 85, 239, 4
is for suckers
My debugging process --- deleting lines of code at random --- was simple and 100% effective. Sooner or later I always got something that "worked".

What is the Nokia phone steam powered or does it have a hand crank?

Here you are - it's surprisingly easy to write once you strip out the functionality that won't ever be hit:
