Very impressive, could we have some more info, like if there will be a price, when there games will be available, the size etc. ?

intepretor, which source can be found at sarien.sourceforge.net. I have made a port for the P800 my self. 😊 Those old games just have a resolution of 160x200 anyway, so it fits the 7650 quite well.

did anyone else play leisure suit larry games the whole way thorugh with a hard-on expecting hardcore porn at the end? Only seeing him on the bed with a black box saying censored was a big dissapointment

back then i didnt understand the law though

really looking forward to this, coz the humour was quite funny if i remember right

Yeah, the game is from year 1987, what is so strange about that??
These games are really old games, but "ported" for 7650.

or are you thinking that the picture of of n7650 is from year 1987 😃 😃
😃 😃

come on this has been stringing me along for 2 weeks now!!!

Wheres a download, Pleeease??//

If I remember correctly they mentioned something about january...
Have to wait, and wait. 😃

Hey, people!
The first review is already online. Check it out! http://www.mobile-review.com/game/2002/sierra.shtml
Russian only at the moment 😊

I never played Larry but it looks just like Lucas arts' Zak McKracken & the alien mindbenders, and that kept me going for 2 years! Wow, roll on Larry!

Will this be available for the 9210? and if they can port leisure suit larry what about monkey island or even better monkey island 2?

I have been waiting for a decent port of any Sierra or Lucas Arts game to the 9210 or 7650 for ages.

Ultimately if someone can port monkey Island to the 9210 I would be in heaven

dude - monkey island 2 for the amiga was 12 floppy discs

slightly over the memory we have on our phones

Monkey Island one is pretty small (9210, in in 7650's terms). It also runs on DOS.

There is a basic DOS emulator for the 9210, which has Keyboard support & CGA (4 colour graphics) if I remeber rightly? So, with a little optimisation & driver creation by some clever home-coder it would be possible to run Monkey 1 on the 9210 wouldn't it?

Zak McKraken used to run perfectly on my CGA 286, having that on a mobile phone would be.. wow!

Having said all that, with a Symbian Dos emulator existing, and compression algorithums being far better than they were in the mid 80's wouldn't it be possible to port "Monkey" to the 7650 too? If it ran landscape, the text's legibility wouldnt be too bad....

😃

Can I just say why not develop a new game. It sounds like everyone has played all the sierra and Lucas Art games so why do you want to play it on the 7650?

can you say classics?

What have you never brought a game, obviously if you purchase a game you buy it with the INTENT(I emphasis that because we all have brought games which we discover soon sucked) but you buy it planning ot play it again at some stage in your life, otherwise ppl would just hire them finish them and forget them.

None the less the Sierra Games are classics, they are just fun to play again because they take like cpl hrs if that to finish and they well LSL, and SQ and even KQ at times have funny momments in them

And frustrating momments like walking down the damn mountain or up the mountain in KingsQuest III!!!

Its just the vibe of it all, the whole classic games vibe.

It's also cheaper and quicker to adapt an already produced video game rather than create your own from scratch.

Also consider that few developers are going to be able to create a game as good as the old Sierra / Lucasarts adventure games. I just went out and bought a copy of Sam & Max and Day of the tentacle for �7.50 (for the pair) even though I played themto death when I was a kid. Its like a whole new game now, I remeber the odd bit but it's great trying to solve the puzzles again!

LOL that game would be a good one to show the boys when your out on a friday night hehe
Nice find.

hrmm I cant seem to download it. 😞
