Along for the ride are award-winning journalist Maggie Robbins and internationally renowned geologist Ludger Brink.Once the wayward asteroid is nuked into a safe orbit, the trio conducts a routine examination of the rocky surface.What they uncover is anything but routine.Low, Brink and Robbins unwittingly trigger a mechanism that transforms the asteroid into a crystal-like spacecraft. The team is hurtled across the galaxy to a planet so desolate, Brink is moved to name it Cocytus, after the 9th circle of Hell in Dante’s inferno. The bleak landscape was obviously once home to a highly evolved civilization, with remnants of sophisticated architecture, advanced technology and an intricate network of underground tunnels.But no Cocytans.Who were the original inhabitants of this once rich empire-turned-wasteland? What are those apparitions that mysteriously appear from time to time? Why have Low, Robbins, and Brink been brought to this place? And how can Low keep his team from unraveling in the face of such uncertainty? To return to Earth, they must dig for answers, both on the planet’s surface and deep within themselves.THE CREWCommander Boston LowA man of few words. Ordinarily he's a by-the-book astronaut, but he has a talent for getting out of tight scrapes with novel solutions.Dr. Ludger BrinkScience advisor on the mission, world-famous geologist and archaeologist. Brink has an unquenchable curiosity and tends to be stubborn when people get in the way of his research.Maggie RobbinsCivilian observer and distinguished member of the press. Robbins has a unique combination of persistence and luck that makes for excellent reportage.Ken BordenCo-pilot. Borden's personality is the opposite of Low's: outgoing, friendly and humorous. He does share Low's dedication to duty and getting the job done.Cora MilesPayload specialist. Cora is another professional astronaut, but her orientation is hardware. She takes care of her pieces of equipment as if they were her children - and expects others to show her hardware similar respect.THE INTERFACETo pick up objects, drag your finger on screen to move the cursor over them then tap on screen.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa! nodoctors Well-Known Member Jul 24, 2009 1,212 28 48 #3 nodoctors, May 30, 2016 The best LucasArts game of all time! Listen to that soundtrack.

It's worth it to experience what the game has to offer. David1953 Well-Known Member May 26, 2013 474 40 28 #4 David1953, May 30, 2016 Wow, such a surprise to see this one released on iOS completely out of the blue. This gives me hope that other LucasArts classics, including my favourite one, "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" will be released on iOS someday. currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #5 currymutton, May 30, 2016 Is this authentic? Edit: I mean I would be very pleasantly surprised! I suddenly feel that KotoR2 is not that far away!

I can't imagine he would be able to publish this LucasArts game under his own name, and he doesn't look at have done any games at all in his previous work. or she. David1953 Well-Known Member May 26, 2013 474 40 28 #8 David1953, May 30, 2016 Wow, thank you for the heads up, and now, I am relieved that I didn't tap on that "buy" button. It's a wonder that this one would have passed Apple's screening process, if it does indeed turn out to be a scam. pseudoart Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2013 59 0 0 #9 pseudoart, May 30, 2016 Has anyone tried it yet? It could be the proper game just ported by this guy. I'm not surprised it went through apples screening. They don't give a shit about copyright infringement until someone complains.

If Lucas Arts ever creates an official version on ios I'll gladly buy it then too. This is worth $5 just so that I don't have to JB my phone to pirate it anyways. Thank you DEV!

GREAT! EZ Ice Well-Known Member Sep 22, 2011 119 0 0 Apps Tropical Island Pirate Hangout #20 EZ Ice, May 30, 2016 Yeah, hope this is the full legit game. Disney owns this right? They bought Lucas Arts then closed them down. Seems like they would own the rights to this.
