Eighties video game Daley Thompson’s Decathlon has been released as an app for iOS and Android phones and tabloids.
The game, developed by Ocean and released in 1984, has been updated, while attempting to retain the look and feel of the original version, and includes the same Decathlon events.
The new version has been developed by Black Company Studios and published by Blisskiss productions, has been backed by Thompson himself.
“I have often said if I had a pound for everyone who comes up to me in the street and says they loved the game but almost wore out their computer joysticks or fingers playing my decathlon game in the 80,’s I would be a millionaire! And it felt right this year with the Games in London to bring it back out for phones and tablet computers – I loved playing it then and am getting pretty good at the new version!” commented Daley Thompson Double Olympic Champion Daley Thompson.
The game was released yesterday and is available to download for £1.49.
