Has anyone played the original game? There's not much info on AtariAge about it.

The iPhone app:

Bermuda is just another hack of River Raid. Nothing special.

I wonder if those games the company offers are reprogrammed or just plain emulations.

Bermuda is indeed a River Raid hack, released around 1988 by Suntek and Rainbow Vision:

They're more than emulation: they have leaderboards and achievements built in via OpenFeint.

That's a good question. On one hand it would be VERY easy to just use existing and available emulator programming and simply embed the rom into it. On the other hand, I think that would be considered pirating for profit. So hopefully this company, considering they're charging for it, are has completely rewritten it using their own unstolen code.

I don't think it's emulation. (What a pitty: you can't swap the included rom with another rom) (Ah, having a real 2600 emulator on iPhone would be cool) (developping 2600 homebrews with an iPhone = priceless).

Note that Bermuda is a paid app, but there's also a lite version (so you can test it for free).
Note that the same guys also did an Atlantis iPhone port.

Hi,

I'm from Nemo Games.

First I want to thank Flojomojo to say admins active my account.

It's not emulation.
We've tried to make a faithfull clone but you can see lots of changes.
The first map(before first star) is the same as the original game but after that they are random.

As Rastignac said you can try our atlatnis port.

The next game is Freeway ;)

sorry for my bad english :)
