| 07-28-09 / 12:09 AM : Boxer : easy DOSBox through drap&drop (cjed) |
| Boxer is an utility based on DOSBox emulator, that allows to package (through drag&drop) DOS games (original install folders, images, CD) in order to launch them directly from the Finder, as if they were regular OSX applications (that is then easier than by using DOSBox directly). It can be downloaded here. We can also find a games compatibility list with DOSBox. |

| 07-24-09 / 12:23 AM : iPhone Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition (cjed) |
| LucasArts released its first game at the AppStore, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition (7,99$), that will also be out on PC. It is an enhanced version of the original game (graphics and musics), however the finer and antialiased scenes seem less warm, with less color and less symbolic (to be verified by real play as enhanced sound, visual effects and touch control could also make the game liver). We are expecting Full Throttle, The Dig, and Sam & Max. We could also use ScummVM on iPhone (jailbreak required) in order to use most original LucasArts games, and other : Discworld, Discworld 2, Sierra games, Return to Zork, The 7th Guest, etc. |

| 07-01-09 / 12:44 AM : iPhone Doom Resurrection available (cjed) |
| Doom Resurrection is available at the AppStore (9,99$). We can watch a video here (the game is based on a fixed path - on rails - and we only control the aiming, using the accelerometer). The game is said to be really smooth, despite high quality graphics (levels are derived from Doom 3), that is likely to circumvent the fixed path limitation. We also learn that the first three Quake are being ported to iPhone. |
