I found out about this slick Commodore 64 iPhone App from Jim at the best time: when it was free. But it's going to stay free now, it turns out. When the publisher moved this App to a free daily promotion, they saw such a spike in downloads that they decided to keep it free forever. Nice.
Of course, you can pay for extra games in the in-app store. That's probably a better way to make money on this anyway. If you're cheap, there's still free games included and more to download. And the paid games are pretty cheap; usually $0.99.
C64 has now topped 1.5 million downloads. Because of this, Manomio is planning an update in which they'll "introduce a huge number of very nice games."

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

But if they get Dante's Inferno on this I swear I'll go nuts with joy.
I hope DRUID is in the next update. I would pay a bunch just for that. Oh, and LEGACY OF THE ANCIENTS.
Oh and of course Speedball a little later on... Brutal Deluxe for the win :D
Keyboard support and Skool Daze in the update plz.
