One of my favourite adventure games of all time was recently released on the iPhone platform and according to one of its creators it is a better version than the coveted original. Speaking at a BAFTA panel on the remake of classic adventure game Beneath a Steel Sky for iPhone, Revolution Software’s renowned game designer Charles Cecil has revealed that he believes the iPhone version betters the original.
“It's down to the touch screen. It’s better than what a mouse offered, which was less immediate. The barriers have disappeared. Now it is all about feeling the screen, and really, it’s even about feeling the gameplay itself," he added. The game is a great blend of futuristic landscapes and a bleak Blade-Runner-ish plot and is well worth checking out. Great to see mobile devices used to resurrect classic franchises like that and improve on them.
