Intellivision games have hit the iphone and their first Ap, Astrosmash is FREE! It has a slick interface showing the cartridges you own and can buy on the left side of the screen and the box art and cartridge slot on the right. Clicking Insert Cartridge then brings you to a very nice picture of an Intelli system, looking down on it, with option buttons for Main Menu, Multiplayer, Hotseat (?), Options, Help (Instructions) and a start button.
Options let you toggle the accelerator off/on. Or switch from full screen to partial screen. It does seem to be glitchy for me at this point as when I try and play sometimes it opens up my iphone menu instead of starting the game. I am sure it will be fixed and it's free so not complaining although it is irritating right now.
It looks like the other games you can now get are Chip Shot Golf, Night Stalker, Skiing, Thin Ice and Thunder Castle.
And while you are in there I just found a nice, free puzzler called Zarik. Give it a try too :)
