<\/a>Apple’s finicky about emulators in the App Store, but most of the candidates have been unofficial, and dubiously legal. Sega’s Ultimate Genesis<\/a>, though, is official<\/em>, and looks like a full virtual console for your iPhone.<\/p>\n

Sega’s released a pile of classic games in the App Store, all of which were technically emulated; the apps were emulators and ROMs, all packaged into one. (This made the adaptions faithful, if a little slow on non-3GS hardware.) Now, with the App Store’s in-app purchasing system, they can do it right: the free app, which should show up sometime today,<\/strike>in the beginning of February comes with just one game—Space Harrier II—but you can buy as many as you want from within Ultimate Genesis. Here’s the current lineup:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sonic the Hedgehog: $5.99
\n\u2022 Golden Axe: $4.99
\n\u2022 Ecco the Dolphin: $2.99
\n\u2022 Shining Force: $2.99<\/p>\n

Some of these games are already listed as standalones, so in an abstract way, Ultimate Genesis is really just a new way to package old apps, and a focused sales channel for new ones. But that’s exactly what a Virtual Console-style emulator is! And why this is a fantastic idea. [Sega<\/a>]<\/p>\n
