Sonic 1 released for the iPhone

Yep, it's out. http://toucharcade.com/

It's 100% emulated. I looked inside the app archive, and it contains a file called "rom.bin". Tested it in Kega Fusion and low and behold it ran no worries XD.

Emulation performance is nothing to write home about. It runs at 30fps, with ok but not accurate sound.

Anyone who's got a jailbroken phone could most likely insert different roms and play them too :P

Hey everyone, look at what appeared on the iPhone App Store overnight!

As you can see it plays the classic game on the iPhone or iPod Touch with a control pad and an A button on the screen in the corners. My sources are telling me that it's just a special genesis emulator with Sonic 1 ROM image. Cost is $6 and it can be downloaded by Clicking Here (This link will open iTunes)

I'm surprised it wasn't on there already.

Me too. All the same, I'm not paying 6 bucks for it.

I actally saw it within the Featured section about one week ago. I may download it, but I may wait to see if Sonic Unleashed is also going to be available for the iPod Touch first.

If it was a bit cheeper I would get it for my iphone but it costs a bit too much.

I think Unleashed is for both iPhone and iPod Touch...but it's coming to Europe, not the States. Is the App Store worldwide, so you can buy apps made in Europe/Japan/anywhere else?
