I hope they come out with that "Indian Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" game. That had a cool science fiction element to it as well.

All of these old adventure games of the nineties seem well-suited for the iPhone/ iPod format. And there's a ton of them. Because all of the artwork and game features are completed, it shouldn't take a small team too long to port them over.

It's a strange thing to have an iPhone/ iPod -- after you've used it for a while you begin to wonder why there isn't an app for absolutely everything. I get pissed when I can't find an app for a specific website or IP (where's my official TRON app, HUH?)

I never really got to far in the pc version so how does this play on the iphone? Is it as good a game as bejeweled to spend the money on? Nearly every other game seems entirely too gimmicky based on the control schemes, but bejewled is just so much fun.

Yeah I know its a different kind of game but I just want a game thats fun to kill a good 20+ minutes and not have to grind my way through like rev civ.
