F.I.S.T. is out NOW!
(September 7, 2024)
Fellow adventurers – the time has come! The day is finally here... F.I.S.T.'s launch day has arrived and the game is available to play NOW!
Sound Realms AB are proud to announce that F.I.S.T. is now live on the Sound Realms platform. This is the first full-length adventure on Sound Realms, and thus marks a major milestone in the platform's development.
F.I.S.T. was originally released as a play-by-phone game in 1988. It was written by Steve Jackson (of Games Workshop and Fighting Fantasy fame) and originally developed by the company ComputerDial. The new version of F.I.S.T. features the original audio recordings, faithfully restored from the original master tapes and digitalized for the Sound Realms platform. This will be the first time in more than 30 years that the world will have the chance to listen to these recordings! Gameplay and functionality will also remain consistent with the 1988 version of F.I.S.T.
"We have worked hard to ensure that the Sound Realms version of F.I.S.T. stays as close to the original version as possible" says Gustav Sundin, CEO of Sound Realms AB. "The key differences are that you play through your smartphone or tablet instead of a landline phone, that the audio quality has been greatly improved, and no more horrendous phone bills to explain to your parents!"
F.I.S.T. can be pre-ordered through www.soundrealms.com.
About F.I.S.T.
In 1988 you could pick up your telephone, dial the F.I.S.T. number and you were immediately connected to a medieval fantasy world of magic, monsters and great riches to be plundered. A world where YOU were a heroic adventurer embarking on a quest for fame and fortune. F.I.S.T. was the first interactive phone game ever.
The creatures and deadly traps that awaited you in Castle Mammon were brought to life with dramatic sound effects and, for its time, groundbreaking gaming techniques. You could hear the roar of the Flesh Eater as your sword hit home, the sizzle of the fireball bursting towards you, the chinking of the many gold pieces you could find in the Demon Prince's underground dungeon. YOU made the decisions simply by using your telephone.
The first F.I.S.T. adventure, originally known as Castle Mammon — Lair of the Demon Prince, was created by the fertile mind of games master Steve Jackson (co-founder of Games Workshop and the Fighting Fantasy gamebook series). After being unavailable to the general public for more than 30 years, F.I.S.T. now returns as it was released in 1988, with the original audio recordings and gameplay intact, but adapted for iOS and Android using the Sound Realms system.
