Championship Manager 70s Legends for the iPhone and iPod touch

Posted on | Leave a comment

Cm70s

In a way, I'm surprised it's taken so long – a football manager game with a retro twist. Which is what you get with Championship Manager 70s Legends.

The title says it all, the long-running football manager sim now lets you manage a team full of 1970s legends – so buying the likes of Billy Bremner, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Pele, Johan Cruyff, and Franz Beckenbauer is just a click away. Not just the players, the rules have changed back to the 70s too, which means the likes of 2 points for a win and 1 substitute only in England.

Choose from seasons 1970/10 through to 1979/80 and various countries, with each season complete with authentic, illustrated news stories from throughout the decade reflecting events as they happened. Available for the iPhone and iPod touch, it sells for £1.79.

By mixing and matching films and lenses, you can recreate the atmosphere of a bygone era with 25 timeless retro looks, complete with dust and scratches, retro colors, flickering, light leaks, frame jitters, whatever you want to add for 'authenticity'.

Posted on | 1 Comment

Polaroid

A while back, we ran a feature on the best vintage camera apps for the iPhone, one of which was a Polaroid app. If you want to complete the look, you need Photoroid by Ryan Astle.

As you might have guessed, it converts your iPhone into a Polaroid camera. At least, in looks anyway. You get artwork for the back of your phone, with a smaller piece for the front, combining to create that vintage-style look.

It fits all iPhones, takes around five minutes to apply (and less to remove), with an online price of $14.99.

Five of the best: Vintage camera apps for Apple’s iPhone

Posted on | 1 Comment

As retro as we all like to be, it’s useful to have a modern handset and we’re guessing many of you currently use Apple’s iPhone. But the iPhone can be retro too, especially when it comes to photography. In fact, there are so many retro camera apps out there, we thought we would sort out the good from the bad.

Specifically, picking out what are, in our opinion, the five best vintage camera apps for the iPhone.

Camera1

1. Hipstamatic

It’s the star of the show, at least in terms of sales. It comes with three rolls of vintage-style film (simulated of course). plus a selection of lenses and flashes for the initial price. Once you’re in, you can buy more, as well as share via the social networks and if you love your work lots, you can even order your analogue prints.

It’s the market leader for good reason and is easy to use. But unless you start spending, you might get a little bored of the limited options fairly soon.

We like: Ease of use, finished and the options to share.
Not so sure about: Cost of add-ons and how quickly we got tired of the initial set up.

Price: £1.19

Boombox

Technology is a funny thing. We're desperate for the next big thing, but as soon as it comes…we're nostalgic for the technology that's been dumped on the scrapheap. But there is a middle ground – this Boombox Speaker for iPhone and iPod for example.

Yes, that's right – old school looks meet new school technology. Compatible with all generations of iPod and iPhone, just slip in your Apple device (see how to do that over the page) throw out those vintage grooves via the 12w speakers within.

There's also an alarm and sleep function, accurate real time clock display, separate bass and treble controls, USB flash drive and SD/MMC card compatibility, a remote control and the option to use batteries or mains. £255 secures you one.
