Although these are non Xbox LIVE games, the 1983 classic arcade and sequel to Manic Miner, Jet Fix Willy, is headed to the Xbox 360 as an Indie Arcade game this Friday. In add-on, a version for Windows Phone is coming with it at or around the same time (nosotros all know how difficult information technology can be for timing).
The game Jet Set Willy should exist a lot of fun for those who relish some retro gameplay on their modern devices as the port looks is official, being handled by Elite Systems Ltd. That visitor has likewise brought their previous ZX Spectrum games to iOS in the by. From the company's press release...
"The release of Jet Set Willy 360 as an Xbox Live Indie Game and as a Windows Phone game is the side by side exciting pace in bringing classic ZX Spectrum games to a new audience, via new devices and platforms and in the process restoring some order to the market.
Nosotros began doing this some 22 months agone with our ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection Apps for iOS devices and in the intervening period there have been more than 100,000 paid instances. The release of Jet Set Willy 360 follows the positive reception and a successful launch of Manic Miner 360 every bit an Xbox Alive Indie Game and equally a Windows Telephone game. It's expected to be followed by more classic ZX Spectrum Games."
That other classic, Manic Miner came out late last year and is quite an interesting version. The game operates in both portrait and landscape with optional joystick or button controls. Overall, information technology's not a bad version of the game and fetches for $1.99, which for some is a fleck on the loftier side. Only what's the price of nostalgia?
Y'all can option that game upwards here in the Marketplace with a free trial. Elite Systems Ltd. are obviously planning on bringing more classics to the Xbox gaming system (both phone and console), assuming this game continues to sell as well as Manic Miner.
