AARHUS, DENMARK, Sep 07, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Kiloo and Manomio today announced the launch of their Commodore 64 Emulator for iPhone and iPod touch on Apple's App Store. The Commodore 64 iPhone Emulator is based on the original and all-time famous 8-bit home computer released by Commodore International in August 1982.
"We are excited to bring the authentic Commodore 64 gaming experience to millions of Apple iPhone and iPod touch users globally," said Jacob Moller, Chief Executive Officer at Kiloo.

Expect to be entertained as we are rolling out a vast amount of the good old game classics in the coming months."

"Launching our renowned Commodore 64 brand on the Apple App store is a big step for us. It is almost three decades since we released our first home computer and today it is possible to get the exact same retro experience on an iPhone. We look forward to be working with Kiloo and Manomio on this project," said Bala Keilman, Chief Executive Officer at Commodore Gaming.

"Producing the official and fully licensed Commodore C64 Emulator for the iPhone has been tremendous fun for our development team here at Manomio.

Ah, I did not know that Commodore Gaming was involved in this. I did know they were involved with the Commodore 64 games on the Nintendo Wii.
