Because they don't require third-party licensing for content. Are you really that dense?

C64 is still free
Just checking in to let you know that C64 went on FreeAppADay this sunday and it is still free. So go out and get it now to join the retro fun. Furthermore, version 1.6 has been launched featuring tons of new games. We'll post a complete update very soon.

Downloading additional c64 games seems broken ATM
The shelves for both paid and free games are empty and when the "More" button is pushed we get a PHP-related error message from the web server ;-)
BTW, the www.c64iphone.com site is also broken...
Oh, well

Yeah that's what 300k plus customers will do to you. However, it should be up and running again.
The long anticipated update 1.6 for the Commodore 64 app is now live, and this time we not only bring you improved controls but also an impressive amount of games!
15 games in total, the choice between having the joystick on the left or right and some interface customization means that this could be one of the most important updates for the app yet.
In relevant games we have now made sure, that it’s no longer possible to move the joystick on an axis not in use by the game, making the controls even more precise and responsive.
Also notice that amongst the many games you’ll find two First Star Software bundles, with two games in each for only 99¢.
Several of these new games come with OpenFeint integrated, making it possible to compete against your friends (or enemies – we don’t judge) in true retro fashion.
The entire list of games looks like this:
Space Taxi
Super Pipeline I
Super Pipeline II
Boulder Dash® II
Wizball
Hover Bovver
Mancopter
Express Raider
O'Riley's Mine
The two bundles include:
First Star Software Bundle I
Bristles™
Panic Button™
First Star Software Bundle II
Flip and Flop™
Millenium Warriors™
We hope you will enjoy the update, and if you have any suggestions for games you’d like to see in future updates, feel free to tell us on our facebook page: facebook.com/kiloomobile
Don't forget that the app is still free, so get it while you can

Hi guys!
Were working hard on the next update for the Commodore 64 app but I thought Id drop a line about what you can expect in the future.
Weve got some great games in store for you, as weve signed a deal with System 3! This means that in a future update youll see:
MYTH,
International Karate
Last Ninja I, II and III
These games were quite popular back in the day, so we hope theyll be equally cool to play on your iPhone and iPod touch!
Dont forget that you can follow us on Facebook, where well post news about our games and where youre welcome to discuss our products, tell us what games youd like to see in the future or just show your support.
Best,
Christian

These last days have been quite busy for us – not only did we manage to get a deal with System 3 but now we will also bring a bunch of Thalamus titles to your iPhone and iPod Touch!
The list as of now looks like this:
• Armalyte
• Creatures
• Creatures II: Torture Trouble
• Hawkeye
• Heatseeker
• Hunter's Moon
• Nobby the Aardvark
• Retrograde
• Snare
This means that you will soon be able to play some of the most celebrated Commodore 64 titles ever! The fun doesn’t stop here though, as we’ve also signed a deal with Elite for Buggy Boy – one of the more addictive racers, with a great sense of speed!
As you can see a lot of titles are finding their way to the Commodore 64 app, mainly due to the great support we’ve had from you guys! If there are any titles you’d like to see, don’t hesitate to suggest them on our facebook page facebook.com/kiloomobile and we’ll see what we can do.

Indeed it would. It is of course something that we'll look into once the new update has been submitted. For now we are focusing on getting all the new games implemented, the controls fixed and the store up and running.
However, iPad compatibility is definitely in the making.
New update submitted
Hi guys,
Been awhile since last post, but we've finally submitted 1.7 for approval by Apple, so this upload should hit the App. store very soon. So what's included in the update? Well, let's take a look:

It's Out!
The 1.7 update has just appeared on the App Store. Let me know your impressions of our new control scheme and the changes that we've provided.

Still no Epyx titles eh? The sneak preview I got will never see the light of day?
I think it's a start that we have licensed the titles from System3, as they are also holding the rights to all Epyx titles. We've been negotiating with them, but made this deal initially.
