Are you familiar with Sound Realms, the innovative audio RPG platform that hosts thrilling games like The Fortress of Death, Mace & Magic, and Call of Cthulhu? Well, brace yourselves because they've just added another gem to their collection. F.I.S.T., the groundbreaking interactive telephone RPG from 1988, has now joined the Sound Realms family.
Yes, you read that right! Steve Jackson’s F.I.S.T., short for Fantasy Interactive Scenarios by Telephone, is making a grand comeback, and this time it's fully immersive with audio on Sound Realms. For those who appreciate classic tabletop gaming, Steve Jackson, the creator of the iconic Fighting Fantasy series, originally teamed up with Computerdial to bring F.I.S.T. to life. It was a pioneering experience where players used their landlines to navigate through a choose-your-own-adventure style story, long before the era of apps and touchscreens.
Check out the exciting trailers below to get a taste of what awaits you:
The excitement is palpable as you can now dive into the treacherous Castle Mammon on Sound Realms. Battle monsters, hunt for treasure, and strive to escape the deadly grasp of Kaddis Ra, the demon prince. No need to fumble with an old rotary dial phone anymore; F.I.S.T. has been revamped for modern touchscreens.
Sound Realms has enriched the new F.I.S.T. with full voice performances, captivating orchestral music, and immersive sound effects. However, it remains uncertain whether some beloved features from the original, such as the iconic Black Claw Tavern where players could interact with each other, will make a return.
If you're a fan of classic, retro gaming, you can now experience F.I.S.T. on Sound Realms. Simply head over to the Google Play Store to download this free-to-play audio RPG.
