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.”
