Myst is on Iphone!
CheffoJeffo:
Ark, why the ---fudgesicle--- do you hang out here ?
You seem to hate everything that has anything to do with retro gaming.
Donkbaca:
Yeah, at least be like me and limit the retro hate to trackball games!
I have had Myst on my iphone for like a year now, the graphics are better than they were on the PC. FWIW I think the iphone is the perfect platform for these old point and click adventure type games

I'm more pro retro than you think. I do not believe retro belongs on modern devices. Emulators yes, old pokey games on decent hardware specs? Oh No!
I tired of seeing the old hash and rehash instead of new improvisations of games like the Namco Museum Battle releases for the PSP. Can we see that in new releases? Oh No!
Nice to see Dragon's Lair on Android, but does it have to appear on nearly every platform? Can the guys make a new Dragon's Lair in house and bundle the old favorite in? Oh No!
What about emulators? Why can't you play Myst on a emulator? Oh no!
Hmmmm.

1. Yes because my old 486 dx still works wonderfully and even if it didn't those games will still run just fine on my windows 7 pc without the need for complex emulators! Also my 486dx is one of those magic ones you can fit in my pocket! You are absolutely right!
2. Yes because pac-man and dig dug aren't timeless classics, pac-man and digdug "arrangement" are!
3. Yeah because Don Bluth still makes animations for laserdisc games, he'll do em for free too... let me call him to get right on that! He's a nice guy too, he doesn't indiscriminantly serve cease and desist orders to anyone trying to make games with his characters at all! I mean it's not like he's filed C&D orders to people who've tried to make a fan game based on unused concept art of an unreleased game or anything.
4. Yeah because it takes far less effort to get dos-box ported and properly running on a system that lacks pc architecture than it does to simply rework and enhance the one game you actually wanted to release.

I think that is simultaneously the best and the most honest statement that I have ever seen here.
Awesome.
