Here’s one for hard-core back-from-the-days Apple 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.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
