I was finally able to take the plunge and buy their "full" catalogue. I'm playing "Leather Godesses of Phobos" atm. Does anyone know how I can change the status to "lewd" in this game? Activision should make it easier to access the maps, its tiresome if i need to scroll down over and over again to the respective page after switching back and forth between the game and the maps/manual.
1. It would be great if we could custom name our saves instead of using just a number. 2. Add iCloud support so we can play seamlessly between devices. 3. An update with a new collection to include: Bureaucracy Hitchhiker's Guide Nord & Bert Beyond Zork Zork Zero Arthur Journey Sherlock Shogun
Yep i totally agree, simply email Activision, has a better chance of seeing someone. Then again an app (and thread) which is 2 years old i dont think stands much chance of a huge update anytime soon
Looks like it's been pulled. Sad losing such an important part of gaming history if we update to iOS 11...
+1! And it is also sad, because it shows that it make no sense to buy premium titles for iOS ... I have many games which I will lose: XCOM (both games), Civ Revoloution, Starship, Battle Academy 1 and 2, Pike&Shot and so much more ...
Yeah no problems in the Canadian store either. I wouldn't hold my breath for an update on this, though.
The link works for me too, but it doesn't show up when searching the App Store. All of them don't.... Anomaly, XCOM, Metal Slug, Another World, etc Looks like the 32-bit purge has begun
Anyone know an email to contact actvision about this? I really would like a 64 bit update for this. Apparently code mystics is down to do one but need permission from activision. This collection is phenomenal and I'd hate to see it disappear with iOS 11.
I used twitter ... @CodeMystics @Activision @ATVIAssist It's difficult to contact anyone at Activision's website directly but there's some chatter on their forums: https://community.activision.com/t5/Activision-Support/Lost-Treasures-of-Infocom-on-iOS-needs-64-bit-support/td-p/10212843 It's really a shame since this collection is the best of any platform it's been on and is such an important part of gaming history.
@brerlappin Good call tweeting, I'm not on twitter or would have done that. My guess is the update would be pretty easy to do, here's hoping they do so!
Worth mentioning that if you can extract the z-machine story files from your purchased iOS app, Frotz will let you sideload them via the built-in file server. I don't sync to iTunes anymore to check the current packaging but once upon a time the Infocom collections tended to just have them in a resources subdirectory in the clear--look for dot-z-number extensions. That's how I played my PC Masterpieces versions on iOS before this came out. No nifty pack-in viewers or similar though with that route, just the text games. The invisiclues transfer over though since they're also z-machine.
Just chiming in to keep attention on this. Fingers crossed for 64 upgrade. This app should never disappear.
I agree! It's such an important piece of computer gaming. It would be a shame if it was all lost, especially since Code Mystics said they would do it if Activision asked.
Please sign the petition to save Infocom for iOS... Its worth a shot! https://www.change.org/p/activision-convince-activision-to-convert-their-ios-game-lost-treasures-of-infocom-to-64-bit Thanks!
