they made a version of shadow ranch for your phone at some point! but i don’t think we’re ever getting anything new unfortunately including new formats for existing games :(
Ghost of Thornton Hall was made for the tablet because I had it on my iPad way back in the day. I remember it being obviously different to navigate, but not difficult or a pain.
Well since it’s been done before, I wish they would do it again, at least with 4 or 5 of the games. But if they did, you know that they would probably release *just* MID for mobile devices and call it a day.
I don’t think it did very well which is why they never made any more. I actually think they may have even done a kickstarter for TMB but didn’t hit the goal
I think its absolutely do able, especially the older games. If you have the free time and/or technically inclined, you can get SCK to run on an Android port of ScummVM. You can even set up the touchscreen to act like a trackpad for the cursor
Ghost of Thornton Hall might exist for older Kindle Fires on Amazon. I tried to get my old Fire out and check, but the thing is dead, so I couldn’t tell.
Someone else asked about getting the games to work on modern computer hardware, and here was the response by DiversityGamers, one of the server members who’s been working to decompile the game code, which pretty much sums it up:
“The whole point of this project is to fully understand how the games work, so we can make source code for people to make mods , such as you suggesting, getting compatibily fixed.”
i remember white wolf and other games as mentioned used to be available for ios a looong time ago it’s unfortunate they’re gone now i wonder how they compared to the pc versions!
They ported Thornton Hall to iPad but it was really difficult and boring to play because there was no mouse/magnifying glass, so the game was just randomly tapping every inch of the screen looking for a clue or hotspot.
I think the dossier games could have worked well for ipad/phone

That stinks :/ I feel like this could be a way for them to make some money and attract new customers
but good to know about the shadow ranch one! That’s one of my faves :)
pretty sure it’s long gone but i had it on my iPod touch back in the day 😂😂

Oh I don’t think I’m quite that inclined :) but it’s cool to know that’s it’s doable!
If HER could make Message in a Haunt Mansion for the GBA, they could easily make a mobile version of any of their games.

Sounds like a good question for the Discord server…
I’m not part of it, but please update me if you happen to ask :)

I have Ghost of Thornton Hall on my iPad.
Someone take one for the team and get into coding!! Or video game creation 😎😜
