Manomio states on their website, “Unfortunately, Apple has pulled the C64 Application from their store as it was discovered by some users that it was possible to enable the Basic program through the interface. We have now fixed the issue and our application has been re-submitted for approval by Apple. We thank you all for your support and fingers crossed we hope to launch again over the next few days.”

Commodore 64 for iPhone:
Direct link via YouTube here.
MacDailyNews Take: Only five C64 games were available before the app was pulled (Artic Shipwreck, Dragon’s Den, Jack Attack, Jupiter Lander and Lemans). If they get this all worked out (not very smart so far, Manomio) and the app reappears in the App Store, we’ll only need one more thing: Jumpman!
Damn. Now where’s my Trash-80 emulator?
“We have now fixed the issue and our application has been re-submitted for approval by Apple.”
Yeah, good luck with that…
Heh… 30 lives!
Where the Timex-Sinclair ZX-81 emulator?
The iPhone touch screen would be almost like the membrane keyboard of the ZX-81.
Cool! Now where’s the Apple II emulator for iPhone?
What about an XP emulator?
*crickets chirping*
Unless it’s to satisfy nostalgia buffs, what’s the point? The games and other apps for the iPod touch and iPhone beat the pants off anything available for the C64.

That’s exactly the point. Nostalgia.
Ahhh, nostalgia’s not what it used to be….
That is kind of sucky on Apple’s part – I mean the main appeal of the C64 in it’s heyday was that you might be able to make your own games. It’s not as if this would suddenly create a big market for new C64 games that would compete with the Apple store.
When’s someone gonna come out with an iPhone 2G emulator for my iPhone 3GS?
It IS the nostalgia … being able to play Karateka and Mission Impossible without having to lug my C64 and disc drive out of the shed and hook it up to the TV is going to be awesome.
Apple owns your iPhone. No C64 apps for you!
Apple = big brother. Thank god W7 is coming soon.
I’m lost. What’s wrong with BASIC? I still use it. Writing in C is hard. Futurebasic may soon Auto-translate basic into C. But what’s wrong with putting BASIC (Commodore BASIC), or any other kind on the i-phone?
