1UP.com’s retro gaming guru Jeremy Parish brings news that Compile’s classic vertically scrolling shooter Aleste ($6.99) has recently been released for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Aleste was the first in a series of shooters to be released across several consoles in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Gamers from the 16-bit era may recall the franchise from famously excellent releases like M.U.S.H.A. on the Sega Genesis and Space Megaforce for the Super NES.
The release is significant, as this new version of Aleste appears to be running via emulation software. All original aspects of the game are preserved — including the original MSX BIOS bootup screen — with an iPod/iPhone-specific control overlay added to the bottom of the gameplay screen.
However, as Parish notes in his blog post, Aleste on the iPhone forces players to adapt to a tilt-based control scheme. Considering that Aleste is a twitch-based shooter that requires precise input, this is unfortunate at best. With any luck, the iPhone will continue to enjoy emulated classics in the future, but hopefully Aleste’s control issues will be addressed in subsequent releases.
