I mean the age demographic of iPhone owners is obviously for the main above 20... Considering the number of Amiga ports that are coming to this platform surely taking a graphic engine as cool as this and making a Frontier/Elite type of game is only a matter of time... Is it just me hoping for this on the phone or am I truly truly stupid?!!! Gee I wish someone would take an engine like this and make an Elite game already!

Now what I want is Tie-Fighter...
