UK Mobile game publisher, Fairplay Media, has announced that they are working with MacGyver creator Lee Zlotoff to bring MacGyver into the mobile games market.

In a press release issued today Fairplay’s CEO, Simon Phillips enthused “Who doesn’t know MacGyver? To most people MacGyver is a household name that conjures up so many fond memories of puzzle solving, ingenuity and doing ‘a MacGyver’. We’ve been talking to Lee for some time and have constantly discussed different ways of bringing Mac to the mobile games market and we were delighted to be able find a way to do just that!”

“We’re excited to be able to bring MacGyver up to date and into the mobile games market. Games are the perfect way for Mac to start new adventures with both the existing fans and an entirely new global audience as well. I’m looking forward to working with the team at Fairplay and seeing Mac back in action” said Zlotoff. “What’s more, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the game will go to support The MacGyver Foundation.”

The first MacGyver title is already deep in development and due to be announced in the coming weeks.

Excellent news! happy_dance.gif

Just on mobile? It's a great start nevertheless. If successful it might be released on other platforms too. I hope it becomes something like Back To The Future The VideoGame.

I think it's really great that Lee is getting his hands back on Mac. First the comic, the movie, now a game. What's next? A series of books?

Yeah I think the idea of mobile is probably that it's the largest and most easily accessible platform available at present.

I would think a console platformed game (PS Xbox, Wii) would have to be on the coat tails of a movie due to the very high cost of production. Those games cost 10's of millions just to get to a design stage and usually end up with a final cost similar to blockbuster movies. So it would make sense that if you wanted to go with a console game you would use the hype of a movie to give yourself the best chance of success on such an expensive venture.


Take a look at the image on the right of this page. I wonder if this is a sneak peek of what to expect from the game?

Huh. Ya don't say. After leaving the franchise laying dead in the morgue for years one CEO-type decision making person finally realizes that. We should've been able to play 8-bit Mac on our nintendos, for Pete's sake. Better decades late than never I suppose. Between this and the comic book, I think I'm starting to hear someone rattling around with a defibrillator.
