Y'know, the thread title made me think you were talking about that garbage SNES game. Thank goodness it's not!

I'm shocked that they ported Space Ace over first, rather than Dragon's Lair (the name of their company, no less).
Ooooh, when's Night Trap going to be ported? Or Sewer Shark? This could be a whole new market for FMV games, for those dozen of us who liked them. Or at least games that had laserdisc backgrounds over hardware generated foregrounds, like Silpheed or Starblade. Starblade would be really great with a touch screen.

Myst was also recently released for the iPhone/iPod Touch, one of the most overrated video games of all time. So, now people can once again buy it, play it for five minutes, and never touch it again, just like they did in 1993.

The girl that played and beat Myst I - IV is not amused.

Myst on the iPhone is massive, too. You need something like 700 megabytes free to install it. And for someone like me with an 8 gigabyte iPod Touch that's usually packed full, that's a whole lot of stuff to delete.

Starblade was 100% hardware driven.
