App Is Good, But Shouldn't Be Back
EBSkater
Developer should've made a new app. Now those of us who don't want to update are unable to "Update All". Since this app is free, technically, you should dump this one off of iTunes, and come back with a new one, named something else.
Impressive Nostalgia Gaming!

Really enjoying it, would like a wider selection of games but it's really good nevertheless. Get it now while it's still Free!
Poor choice in update

I purchased this app in order to load my old games to it. Now if I update I lose that functionality? Lame. Pull the game and resubmit it with a new name so I don't have to keep skipping the update. Be respectful to those of us who actually paid money to you.
Cool! Crazy!

DOS on your phone works surprisingly well considering the absence of "hard" controls. Thanks for bringing this back!
Get it before it's pulled again!

Search "arstechnica idos" to get the game loading back! :D Once Apple comes across the news again this is going to get taken down again! Grab while you can!
Great app

I'm glad this app is back - the Bluetooth keyboard support makes this worth the upgrade alone. Hopefully it is back for good this time. I hope Apple comes to their senses about these and other vintage emulators (C64, Apple II, etc). They shouldn't really be lumped in the same boat as Flash, Java, .NET and other modern runtimes. These emulators are really only of interest to hobbyists, have little to no networking capability, and can only run old software that have no modern iOS equivalents.
