Cinemaware doing iPhone games, Defender of the Crown now available

by Justin McElroy on Aug 12th 2011 4:30PM

For those of us of a ... certain age, the name Cinemaware summons up images of some of the most stunning graphics of the mid-to-late-80s, whether that be in Rocket Ranger or It Came From the Desert!. Now, the futuristic citizens of 2011 can experience the company's most popular release, Defender of the Crown, with a $2.99 iPhone port of the Amiga version, just released by Cinemaware.

Our hope is that the youth of today won't too harshly what we once thought to be the bleeding edge of graphical fidelity. Remember: Judge not, lest ye be judged by the snot-nosed, hologrid-loving kids of 2025.

I think they are just now picking out stories to Zumba. I want to see a vector graphics Zumba. Also a Chocobo doing a Zumba.

Damn... Cinemaware now those were the good days. the first company that really tried to create games that were more movies than games, amazing visionaries... I still remember the king of Chicago, that game had millions of possible ways to finish it, a lot of dialogs, and the story was great, i never saw the same ending twice...... rocket ranger another amazing games, the three stooges one of the very few games to successfully try comedy, an amazing company no doubt. A shame it´s no longer the original studio which bankrupted, i can only imagine the kind of games the´d be making with today's technology.....

ok now that one is just bad, all pixely and such

@Protege420 Ah yeah, it's an old Amiga game ported to the ios platform. It should be "pixely", as it was a huge hit when your parents were still thinking about having a kid.
