Commenting upon the launch plans, Elite's MD Steve Wilcox said,

"The Apps provide the opportunity to build a collection, of the most popular RETRO computer GAMES from the 80s and 90s, in two great ways

1. Download 'Retro Games' to receive BRUCE LEE and to get 9 more classic 8-bit home computer games for NO ADDITIONAL FEE! (Including, Jon Freeman's masterly strategy game, ARCHON).
Then, collect up to 100 classic 8-bit home computer games as they're added to the In-App Shop each month.

2. Alternatively, download 'Retro Games Free' to receive BRUCE LEE for FREE and to get 9 more classic 8-bit home computer games for a MODEST ADDITIONAL FEE – £0.69/Euro0.79/US$0.99. (Including, Jon Freeman's masterly strategy game, ARCHON).
Then, collect up to 100 classic 8-bit home computer games as they're added to the In-App Shop each month.

Commenting upon the launch plans, Elite's MD Steve Wilcox said,

"The Worldwide launch of the Apps will take place in early April and from the outset they will feature some truly-classic, 80s, Anglo-American, 8-bit home computer games in their near-100% original form. With the first and each subsequent monthly update of the Apps, more games will be added to the 'In-App Shop', offering a total of one hundred retro games to collect."

Speaking further about the Apps, Elite® MD Steve Wilcox said,

"Both Apps come bundled with Datasoft's seminal platform game, "BRUCE LEE" and in total, this initial release contains (or offers as an In-App purchase) 10 near-100% original 8-bit home computer games, including three three-game packs:

Pack 1 – Price: FREE*
1. ARCHON (Free Fall Games)
2. TALES OF THE UNKNOWN (Interplay Entertainment)
3. INFILTRATOR (Chris Gray Enterprises)

Pack 2 – Price: FREE*
1. BLACK MAGIC (Datasoft)
2. ALTERNATE REALITY: THE CITY (Datasoft)
3. ALTERNATE REALITY: THE DUNGEON (Datasoft)

Pack 3 – Price: FREE*
1. EMLYN HUGHES INTERNATIONAL SOCCER (Audiogenic Software)
2. MONTY ON THE RUN (Gremlin Graphics)
3. BARBARIAN: THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR (Palace Software)
(also known as DEATH SWORD (Epyx))"

"Subsequently, additional games will be available to collect in 2 unique ways:

- 30 separate packs, each of 3 games, available from the 'In-App Shop' each priced at £0.69/Euro0.79/US$0.99
- all 100 games for a MASSIVELY discounted price (basically the price of a movie ticket).

"We're committed to improving and further developing the Apps in the weeks and months ahead and to adding to the 'In-App Shop' further packs and games such as, we hope:

Access Software's LEADERBOARD GOLF
Epyx's SUMMER GAMES
Free Fall Games' ARCHON II: ADEPT
Geoff Crammond's STUNT CAR RACER
