If you iPhone jailbreakers out there have a nostalgia streak, or just want to play some old early Macintosh (Classic) games on your iPod touch, you are in luck.  In the Cydia repository is a game called Mini vMac that is a old Mac Plus emulator. 

Hypercard anyone? 

If memory serves correct, that would max out at System 6 7 (thanks commenters)  Also the music here is questionable at best - so you may want to turn the sound down.

It works up to System 7(.5?)

Correct, I was using Pluses with 7 (and i think 7.5) in high school 1993/4 in Scotland. By the way if anyone's got a mint one they'd like to have a new loving home....

Why is it that the people who post these videos always have to play some kind of annoying song (typically rock, metal or techno) over the video? I wonder how they decide what song they are going to use. I am sure its crucial to the content of the video.

With the title ‘…goes full circle’ I was hoping this’d be a video of an iPhone emulator for System 7 running on an emulated Mini vMac on an iPhone.

Alas, it was not to be.

This one's interface is even better than the one designed specifically for OS X!
