Elite For The iPhone And iPad

Unfortunately, I cannot post a link to the game here - I do want to bung down as much as I can and hopefully one day link to it...

I would love to see the Archimedes version of Elite - in my opinion the best version, because it had solid 3D graphics and very smooth controls - ported to the iPhone and iPad, possibly with the iPhone being able to act as a remote control for the iPad running the game.

However, first, a link to nostalgia:

Acorn Gamez - Reliving The Wonder

While getting a bit hacked off with a PC yesterday, I went looking for some videos from years gone by. I found some videos by a guy who really should be linked: http://www.youtube.com/user/peetvanpeebles

I really have to say thank you to Peet Van Peebles here - these videos are so inspiring! I just want to fire up the old Risc PC and get playing again :)
