Pocket Gamer:
There's something special about old games popping up on iPhone.
But, like photos in a dusty old album, it's only when you see them in the cold light of day that the faults come into focus.
Spectre 3D – comprising the nearly 20-year-old Mac classic Spectre and its follow-up – makes no real attempt to hide its age, but its straightforward approach is a breath of fresh air.
AppSpy writes: "It's no surprise for some old-school gamers, but Spectre for Macintosh computers in the early 90s is noteable for being one of the first multiplayer network games available. Brilliant Bytes Software have resurrected the original and VR versions of Spectre for the iPhone generation and with a few modern touches it's still a perfect way to blast away your spare time."
Touch Arcade:
Spectre is a 3D, filled-vector tank battle game something akin to Battlezone. The simple objective was to drive your tank around various obstacle-filled battlefields collecting flags and dodging the fire of AI enemy vehicles. The game also supported local multiplayer over the Mac's integrated AppleTalk networking hardware. It was followed by Spectre VR, an overall enhanced, network-centric title. Both versions were highly rated at the time and were awesome to play on the Mac's relatively high resolution, color display.
