Please note: We are aware of a crash bug when this app is run on iOS 5.0 and the 'iDaptive Controls' are selected. We are working on a fix and the app will be updated shortly.

Black Magic (a game for 8-bit personal / home computers released in the US in 1987) is one of THE defining games of the 1980s.

The Black Magic HD app will be offered as an in-app purchase from within the Elite Collection HD app. (The in-app will be priced at £0.69/€0.79/US$0.99 and it may include one or more other 8-bit games).

The Black Magic HD app is also available in this stand-alone form. It does not include any other 8-bit games but it does include an infinite lives version.

The Black Magic HD app is the near-100% original 8-bit game, as designed by Peter Ward and others and published by Datasoft in 1987 and is brought to you - as an officially licenced product - utilizing our Elite Collection HD technology.

Featuring:
- portrait and landscape play / display modes
- iDaptive (user-definable, game-specific joystick, keypad & canvass) Controls
- (Google: "Tiny URL 22qh8hl") for more info
- ‘auto save’, on exiting the game
- authentic 'Spectrum' sound
