But how well does it work when you're at the 9th key level? And even so, it's still way over-priced. I am not whining that I want it to be free or $0.99, there's a certain value to retro-games for me ... I've bought Pac-Man on almost every platform it has shipped on. But charging more on the iPhone, ostensibly just because it IS the iPhone, is silly. There is no way this took more work than the Xbox 360 version, and that has online leaderboards and achievements, and had to go through the rigourous XBLA approval process. When it finally reaches the same price as it is on the iPod I'll pick this up (same for Ms. Pac-Man), until then I'm happy waiting.

As a result some developers are are overlooking this change and making submissions that make their apps incompatible with the first generation iPod Touch. I suspect Namco may have overlooked this change when they submitted Pac-Man Lite. I think we need to knock heads with Apple over this.
