The 1st episode of Microids's classic point-and-click adventure Syberia is now available on the App Store
A mammoth task
If you've a penchant for adventure gaming on the go, you really should buy an iOS device. There are so many point-and-click classics on the App Store that you'll be spoilt for choice.
Well, you can now add Microid's Syberia to that ever-growing list.
For those not in the know, Microids's 2002 PC smash revolves around mammoths, clockwork trains, and an automaton called Oscar.
In this episodic game - which Microids has split into three parts for iOS - you follow the story of Kate Walker, a young American lawyer who's plunged into a world of mysterious inventors and long-lost heirs.
Microids has re-engineered Syberia for touchscreen devices, with the French studio crafting a new control system that highlights points of interest so you can move over to them quickly.
Syberia also features a full voice cast, in case you were wondering.
Some people might be a little upset, mind, to discover that it's not a Universal app - a separate HD version is available for iPad point-and-click fans.
