Here's a perfect example of how you shouldn't implement stylus controls in old games for the sake of it.
Despite having ten games available, only Pong and breakout are usable with the stylus. Every game except for Tempest can be controlled via D-Pad and the majority of them play much better with it. Tempest sadly, has been completely ruined thanks to poor button design (L or R to fire) and horrible stylus control. What's the point in using the stylus to manipulate an onscreen joystick when you can simply use the D-Pad and get better results.
The new modes simply feature enhanced visuals (which mostly look naff) and the pathetic presentation (you can only go back to the main menu by exiting the current game you in once its started, means you're left with a very nasty taste in your mouth.
