Retro games I'd like to see on the iPad/iPhone

One of my more random blog posts, but inspired by a tweet from @andytuk:

These are games from the BBC micro, C64 and other retro machines I would like to see either emulated or re-coded into new versions to play on the iPad/iPhone - in no particular order:

C64 versions:
Impossible Mission
TrollyWally - for the music more than the game
Little Computer People

BBC versions:
Thrust
Sentinel
Arkanoid
Llamatron
Hampstead
HHG2TG
The Hobbit
Repton 1, 2, 3
Airlift
Arcadians
Starship commander
Elite (this was the game mentioned that started me thinking)
Exile
Thunderstruck
Citadel
Manic miner
Jet set willy
Castle Quest
Alien 8
Nightlore
Sabre wolf
Uncle Claude
Imogen
Chuckie Egg
Frak!
Cholo

Others:
Speedball
Gobbiins 1, 2
Barbarian
Tempest

I'm very aware (having played many of these recently on emulators) that they would really need sprucing up to stand up today, but they all had that "just one more game" element to their gameplay that many more visually polished modern games lack.

Ah, e by gum an' by 'eck, I remember when all this was fields...or Mode 2 graphics. :)
