-- Roddy McNeills Coo Chew Games has remade the old Spectrum adventure game Artic Adventure A: Planet of Death for the iPhone/iPad. The text is fleshed out nicely, and the wheel-based verb/noun/target selection makes for fairly convenient adventuring on platforms without a physical keyboard. Hes recently patched it to fix a crash bug in the initial release, and its an inexpensive release. Its available in the iTunes store -- details here.
-- A new episodic adventure arrived on Steam this week, courtesy of the Greenlight channel -- Cardboard Computers Kentucky Route Zero. Its visual style and soundtrack are intriguing. My only concern is whether this as-yet-unproven publisher will see the project through -- the game is being sold as a season pass up front, with Act One available now and four more slated for release during 2013. This kind of thing can certainly be done -- I just hope the game sells well enough for its creators to do the remainder of the saga justice.
-- The long-lost Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail, missing from the most recent Sierra animated adventure game compilations, is now available for $5.99 at GOG.com.
