Calmdowntom look at the recent iOS port of Gemini Rue. "The worlds these stories take place in would not be out of place in a Philip K Dick novel or a George Lucas film." Says Mike O'Raw about the game
"Gemini Rue aspires to be a classic point and click adventure. By classic, I do not mean good classic, I mean this game wishes it was made in 1987. The game does its best to look like the Lucasarts and Sierra games of the time such as Monkey Island, Loom and Space Quest – detailed and well-built backgrounds filled with blocky little sprites you control and interact with. Now this may seem silly in today’s world of super clear amazing graphics but this adds to the atmosphere of the game and reinforces the image of a classic point and click adventure."
