Would you buy Riven on the iPhone/iPod touch?

I've been wanting to ask this question on here for some time. I just hope this is the proper forum section to post this. (If it isn't. feel free to move it mods

)

Also, what do you think you be a fair price?

Personally, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'm just hoping the space it takes up on my iPod wouldn't be too large...

As for price, I'd buy it for $10 at the most, this is just me though.

What about you?

I voted "Other"

I didn't buy iMyst, but I did try the free version and I loved that. I didn't buy it because I already own Masterpiece, so there wasn't really any new content.

If iRiven had something new (Commentary? I don't know!) then I think I would certainly buy it if I had the space.

On the other hand, I'd buy Cosmic Osmo for iPhone in a heartbeat! Faster if it was colorized.

Most definitely! No question about it. :lol:

Yes! Straight away!

But if Apple doesn't improve the iPod video player, Cyan wouldn't even be able to port Riven...

I would certainly buy it! However, even though Riven would be great to have on the iPhone, as the masterpiece of the series (in my opinion), I would much rather see Cyan develop some new exciting things on the platform rather than just continue to warm up old hits.

As to the video player issue, I wonder if it would be feasible to forget about the built-in hardware-assisted video API and decode videos in software. It worked on mid-nineties Macs and PCs, so why not on the iPhone?

I voted 'Maybe';
I need the iPod, and then the iMyst, then I'd get the iRiven.

Yeah, I guess having the iPod would have to come first :lol:

World's first iPhone virus surfaces
9 hours 8 mins ago

The virus, which so far appears to be confined to Australia, changes the users wallpaper to an image of 1980s pop star Rick Astley, and displays the message Ikee is never gonna give you up.

Only those users who have cracked, or jailbroken, their phones and not changed their passwords from the default "alpine" can be affected.

Security firm Sophos said that once in place, the worm attempts to find other iPhones on the mobile phone network that are similarly vulnerable, and installs itself on them.

"This is a wake-up call to iPhone users around the world to take greater care about their security - especially if they jailbreak their phones," said Sophos senior technology consultant, Graham Cluley.

"Businesses also need to ensure that they don't have staff who are endangering corporate data by running insecure smartphones. Other inquisitive hackers may also be tempted to experiment, and could take the code of ikee and adapt it to have a more sinister payload."

Sophos researchers have traced the virus back to Ashley Towns, 21-year-old student from New South Wales. Towns admitted to releasing the worm on his Twitter page, saying that he did so because he found that 26 out of 27 accessible iPhones he had tested were vulnerable because they had not changed their passwords.

Finnish security firm F-Secure has also warned about the virus, and advised iPhone users to expect further attacks.

"The creator of the worm has released full source code of the four existing variants of this worm. This means that there will quickly be more variants, and they might have nastier payload than just changing your wallpaper or might try password cracking to gain access to devices where the default password has been changed," the firm said in a blog post.

Of course I would! Then again...I don't have an iTouch or iPhone. But, if I did, I would definitely buy it after I bought iMyst.

Mystdee · **Posted:** Wed Dec 23, 2009 8:20 pm

And according to Chogon's post here http://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18855 it's just a matter of time! :lol:

No.

There is no iPhone service anywhere near me, and I don't feel like downloading something as large as Riven over my slow internet connection. This is rural Georgia. We ain't got no fast internets.

laughingpineapple · **Posted:** Thu Dec 24, 2009 12:52 am

I would buy it in a heartbeat IF I had an iWhateveritworkson.
Re-releases of my favourite games aren't enough to make me buy 300+€ of technology. A(ny) new game from Cyan*, or a couple of killer apps from someone else, might be enough.

*if iRiven turns out to be a huge seller like iMyst was, I hope that they can get funding for a small project... I hope...

My first reaction was, "Well, duh." But since that wasn't an option in the poll, I chose "Yes". I loved playing Myst for the iPhone. I would probably go up to $9 or $10 for Riven, but $5 seems to be the sweet spot for most best-selling apps.

Well, no.

I own neither iTouch or iPhone.

Would you buy Riven on the iPhone/iPod touch?
