Here’s one for hard-core back-from-the-days Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) dans – the Apple II classic text adventure Transylvania has been ported to iPhone!
Those not familiar with the game should check out a dedicated Wikipedia page for all the details. I’ll only point out key facts about the iPhone version:
- The game was remade in collaboration with Antonio Antiochia, the original author of Transylvania!
- Gameplay has been updated and you don’t have to text input commands. Using the magic of touch is enough, but if you’re so nostalgic that options still exists.
- The graphics has been updated, which is kinda expected.
The price is 99 cents which is like nothing for the experience of time travelling.

I wonder if someone will port over some of the old Infocom text adventure games. The “verb wheel” sounds like an interesting approach for updating these text-based games.
