Oh and, Mr. Tørnquist, we realize you're busy with The Secret World (and now this newly announced port), but iOS would be a great platform for those Dreamfall Chapters. You know, the ones you promised? Just saying.

Call me a weird, old-fashioned stickler, but... I think adventure games should really stay on the PC. There's something about having a big close-up screen that you can lean into that really brings out the best of in adventure games. I can't imagine playing, say, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on a phone.
Just like how AAA shooters are probably best on consoles and games like Angry Birds are made for phones, I think adventure games are really best played on a computer
That said, it's really great for this one to get a bigger audience!

@Oddgirl Prolly phrased that wrong, I was thinking of the giant big-budget, sit-on-the-couch-and-look-at-crazy-setpieces kinds of games. Mouse and keyboard forever. :)
I still don't know about adventure games on phones though. The touch interface works really well for navigating, interacting, etc., but I feel like the visuals and atmosphere are just as big of a part as the gameplay. Admittedly, I don't have a smartphone and haven't tried any of the ports, but I can't imagine The Dig working without a big screen and a full sound system.

I thought The Longest Journey for most people was waiting for PSN to go back up after the apocalyps3.

10,000 times YES!!! I own two legal copies of this game, but neither runs well in emulation on my mac. I try to boot camp it, and that works great, but the game is a little too slow paced, and I wind up rebooting back to OS X before I get anywhere. Then I'm reluctant to reboot back. Being able to pick-up-and-play the game in bits and pieces on the go will probably be the missing ingredient I needed to actually make progress in this game!

OMG, I just realized I own this game on steam. Hell it's even on my desktop...
I should really get around to playing it.

Pixel-hunting? I'd call that an insult to a well made point-and-click like this. Maybe nowadays you can get away with calling a "hunt the item" game a point-and-click adventure, but but a few short years ago when this was made, you'd have been attacked on the street. I think it should work fine on a small screen.
Anyway, this wasn't really aimed at anyone here, but more a rant caused by my hatred of hidden item games being counted point-and-click adventure games.
Sorry everyone.
