Released back in the 80's for the BBC B microcomputer, Repton (a boulderdash / puzzle game) is coming to the iPhone as iRepton (www.iRepton.com). This was one of the fastest sell games in its day and is just as fun to play as it was back in the day!
Got a tip for us?

Very Cool. Loved the Archimedes version.
There as so many BBC/Archimedes/RiscPC games that would work really well on the iPhone- Stunt Car Racer and Elite spring to mind

we will be bringing the whole set of Repton games to the iPhone.... Retpon1, Repton2, Repton3, Repton thru time, Repton:Around the world in 40 screens etc etc.
After that maybe, just maybe... if they are successful we will do Codename Droid! ;P

Love the retro version, complete with 8-bit sound.
I think I last played Repton on my Acorn A4, and soon it will be on Apple's!
