Reviving Old PC Games for Smartphones

Old PC games that do not work on modern PCs still remain fresh in the minds of those who dug into the bulky keyboard to cut to chase. Reviving them to adapt with the modern PCs and laptops is a good solution but with people migrating towards tablets and Smartphones, it would be nice to see games such as Rise of nations, Jazz jackrabbit 2, Red faction 1 & 2, Star wars knights of the old republic 1 & 2, Deus Ex etc. make their way to the app stores.

Reviving PC games for the mobile screens

iOS, Windows and Android game development companies have revived some of the favorite games such as Cave, Raiden Series, Solitaire, Tetris, Pinball etc. for playing on Smartphones and tablets with fun navigation and control system to keep the player hooked. There are many nostalgic gaming enthusiasts who cannot play the games they loved and enjoy on the latest Windows software on PCs either. Mobile application developers can tap this huge market by developing cross platform mobile application that can be carried in one’s pocket.

Improvisations

Navigation and control will be completely altered on mobile devices, but the swipes, tilts, press and hold to shoot will make the game more interactive and capture the player’s attention. Storing and resuming games, more levels and better graphics with an HD view would attract gaming enthusiasts who have never played these old classics. In fact, more levels can be added and the game can be carried beyond where the old version ended.

Remixing or Reviving?

Mobile application development companies enjoy the creative freedom to create an app similar to an old PC game with new characters and twists or you may simply give a graphic and a software touch up and retain the old game and just bring it to the mobile device platform.
