The Quest HD Now Available for iPhone as Well as iPad

Touch Arcade writes that popular old-school RPG The Quest is now available for iPhone as well as iPad. When it launched 3 weeks ago, at that time the game was only available on iPad, apparently because the game’s developer, Redshift, wanted to make sure that fans weren’t confused as many previous versions (over 20, apparently!) of the original The Quest game were all iPhone-only, and Redshift wanted to make it easy to differentiate between the old and new games in the App Store.

However, due to strong demand from fans who really weren't confused at all and really wanted an iPhone version of the game, Redshift has relented and has now made The Quest HD iPhone compatible as well as iPad compatible, via a universal update.

The Quest is actually one of the longest-running mobile-only games of all time, pre-dating the iPhone, having been created for PDAs and pocket computers. It really came into its own and had a new lease of life once the iPhone was released.

This new HD version of the game sees Redshift bringing it fully up-to-date, giving the by-now-slightly-tired graphics a high-definition sheen, as well as being available on desktop for the first time via Steam.

It’s wonderful to see this old classic looking so good on the latest iPhones, and Redshift has done a superb job of bringing it up-to-date. As far as further expansions are concerned, it’s likely that the huge Islands of Ice and Fire expansion will indeed be coming at some point, but any other further updates beyond that are unlikely as Redshift is already busy working on The Quest 2.
