Remember the good old LodeRunner game from your Commodore or MSX? Thanks to Apple’s much questioned approval process, a port of the old game has been released on the App Store.
Its not the first time that a classic game copy is being released on the App Store. Earlier, Nintendo needed to defend its rights on a copy of Duck Hunt that was wildly popular on the store. We wonder how long it takes before this game is taken offline for copyright infringement.
I agree the approval process appears to be somewhat loose when it comes to copyright infringement issues.
With regards to some of the most legendary video games, they should surely know about these if they operate within the App approval dept/chain at Apple.
