Elite Systems, the long established UK based developer and
electronic publisher of games for portable, mobile and other
devices has announced the launch (also available as a free update
for Vol. #1) of “ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection™
(Vol. #2)” – a collection of hit games for the
80’s home computer - for iPhone & iPod Touch.
The major feature of the update (which is expected to go live on
the App Store w/c 22
nd November) is the inclusion of iDaptive (i.e.
user-definable, game-specific joystick, keypad & canvass)
Controls; an instructional video for which can be found by Googling
“Tiny URL 22qh8hl” and here:

Other features of Vol. #2 include:
- 6 new games, taking the number included to 12
- ‘auto save’ on exiting any game
- ‘speed boost’ option and ‘AY Stereo’
sound, (for the 128K games, ‘Beyond the Ice Palace’ and
‘Saboteur 2’)
Speaking about the App, Elite® MD Steve Wilcox said,
- the App will always be priced at £0.59 (Euro0.79,
US$0.99)
- there’ll be a further free update, within a month,
including an in-App ‘shop’ and at least 4 more volumes
(#3 through to #6 - priced at £0.59/€0.79/US$0.99 per
volume), each containing 6 ZX Spectrum games, bringing the total
available (including those available as an in-app purchase) to at
least 36
- if the iDaptive Controls are as well received as we hope,
we’ll include them in the first update of the recently
released ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection HD for iPad.
A preview video of Vol. #1 is still available -
