Bitmap Brothers' classic strategy game Z coming to iOS, Android and PlayBook
General Zod commands it
Acclaimed for its more complex and challenge strategy gameplay when released back in 1996, The Bitmap Brothers Z - now called Z: The Game - is being remade.
The project is a collaboration from licence owner The Bitmaps, and two of the original developers Tony Kavanagh and Peter Harrap (of Monty Mole fame).
It's promised that the game's tongue-in-cheek humour and addictive gameplay will be bought over intact, although the controls and interface have been radically overhauled to handle touchscreen devices.
Prepare for serviceZ: The Game will be available on a range of devices from iPhone and iPad to Android, BlackBerry PlayBook and PC and Mac.
"We're thrilled to be working with The Bitmap Brothers on the fantastic Z: The Game," said Tony Kavanagh, MD of Kavcom.
"Fans of this classic strategy title are in for a real treat - everything is in there, from the terrific comedy cutscenes to the frantic multiplayer mode, and with a much friendlier, intuitive interface. This is going to be the definitive version of Z."
More details, screenshots and release dates will be announced shortly.
