What it was: Zenji was released by Activision in 1984, tasking you, as a rolling face, with turning each level’s maze green. This was done by rotating maze sections and avoiding the patrolling flames. The simple gameplay was engrossing, and, like many puzzle games, it’s stood the test of time.
What we’d like to see: Retro games are steadily making their way on to iPhone, and it’s a perfect platform for classic ‘pick up and play’ titles. Zenji’s simplicity and immediacy could make it a hit on the platform, and the simple controls could easily be replicated on iPhone via various means (swipe or tilt to move, twist or virtual button presses to rotate).
