Elite launches new WAP site... with R-Type

| R-Type

UK mobile games publisher Elite Systems has launched its official WAP site, elite.mobi, and it's picked a corker of a title to debut with. We've written about R-Type before – it's a classic shoot-'em-up from the 8-bit era.

Anyway, Elite has a free demo of the game nestling on its new site, which can be downloaded direct to your phone – you can also buy the full version.

There's also a demo of Atlantis Quest, a casual puzzle game that's coming out soon, plus news about other upcoming games from the publisher.

Elite is the latest publisher to launch its own mobile internet site, following in the footsteps of Gameloft, whose site recently went live.

Meanwhile, if you're still not convinced that R-Type is a classic (or you just want to wallow in nostalgia), watch Elite's video footage below:
