Pros and cons of DOS Paratrooper app for iPhone and iPad

DOS Paratrooper app good for

No arrow keys guys, thus its really tough to get used to proper shooting.
I used yo play this when i was a kid. Amazing then, amazing now.
I had fun playing this game. This version is improved and now it is more interesting to play!
This is a fun little game from the DOS days, now it would be great if you guys can recreate Sopwith.
A perfect recreation of one of the best DOS games of all time
Its the classic Paratrooper game many of those of you born in the 80s and growing up with early Apple titles remember and loved! Formatted for your phone and as easy to play as a simple tap to aim and fire.

Some bad moments

This game feels like the original, but the controls are not right! Tapping the screen turns the gun into that exact direction and fires when the position is reached. The original game had separate controls for turning and firing. Unplayable :(
I wanted to relive my childhood. Instead I tapped on the screen and waited seconds before the bullets flew. Fail. Avoid this crappy app.
This game isnt good. The gun is not controllable, I paid a buck to relive 30 seconds of child hood. Is there a joystick for IPad because thats the only way I see any pleasure being gained by this app....booo!
