XPilot iPhone

XPilot for the iPhone. XPilot is actually a really old game - we're talking 1993. Back then it was played on our SGI workstations or other *NIX boxen. It's a multiplayer, networked space fighter game - kinda like Asteroids on steroids, with multiplayer. Over the years, the open-source software has developed, and even has clients on Windows and Mac OS X now. We decided that the iPhone really needed this game (with it's WiFi or 3G always-on networking it's great), so we had to come up with an interesting control scheme, graphic elements that work on the phone, and the GUI interface that wraps it all together. It's very faithful to the original client, and works with all original servers that are still running out there on the Internet today. We think this game is great from a nostalgic perspective, but also great because excellent gameplay is timeless.

Just a quick note to say in 1.1 the control scheme is different - the video shows the 1.0 control wheel. The new control wheel appears wherever you touch on the screen.
