Mobile games publisher Telcogames and video games publisher Codemasters today announced a deal to bring a number of classic games titles to the new generation of Symbian Smartphones. The games (Cannon Fodder, Sensible Soccer, Sensible Soccer International Edition, and Mega Lo Mania) were originally released in the early 1990s by Sensible Software, which was later acquired by Codemasters.
Most old computer games are now perfect for mobile phones, which have surpassed the computing power of the early computers…the file sizes for the games are between 500K to 1.5MB, so it’s a good traffic driver for carriers.
It also marks a move for Telcogames, which is helping to develop the new titles rather than just licensing them.
