Okay, stay with me on this one. We’ll take it slow.

Now, we’re all familiar with Die Fantastischen Vier, otherwise known as “Fanta 4.” The group is a pioneer in German rap, and produced what is arguably the world’s first German-language hip hop hit, “Die Da?!”

Today, Fanta 4 makes its App Store debut with Fanta 4 Pinball ($3.99), an Amiga-styled pinball sim from Bad Monkee, publishers of the well-received iPhone remake of Giana Sisters.

And that’s it, basically. If you enjoy titles like Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies and have longed for a pinball sim that also addresses your passion for German hip hop, today is officially the greatest day of your life.

Sometimes, I love the iPhone. There’s also a trailer, which you absolutely must watch:

The legend lives !

More than 20 years ago Armin Gessert developed with GIANA SISTERS one of the first Jump’n’Run games for the Commodore C64 – the console manufacturers got anxious – one of them tried to stop the sisters and the end seemed close. But you might say when idols die then legends are born ! As in this case. C64, Amiga, Amstrad and Atari ST Gamer honor GIANA SISTERS and an original game with packaging has become a rare collector’s item.

The legend is back, better and bigger than ever before.

Especially designed for the possibilities and functions of the iPhone / iPod GIANA SISTERS captivates through its completely new graphic especially for this version, new control options and several Apple 3.0 features.

The newly polished 32 classic levels from the old days should result in hear palpitation and teary-eyes for real enthusiasts. Even though GIANA SISTERS has been polished off from its decade old dust 2010 it goes strong with the known style, legendary sound and all classic features.

Commodore 64-Era Platformer Giana Sisters Gets iPhone Remake

The Great Giana Sisters had only a brief presence on store shelves, but the game remains an infamous figure among Commodore 64 enthusiasts. Nintendo, at the time, was not amused with the game’s similarity to its own Super Mario Bros., and following threats of legal action, all copies of The Great Giana Sisters were recalled from sale shortly after its release.

Time has healed old wounds, however, and a remake of The Great Giana Sisters received a full and proper retail release for the Nintendo DS last year in the UK. One graphical facelift and a modified control scheme later, the Nintendo DS version of Giana Sisters ($4.99) is now available for sale in the iTunes App Store.

If you’ve played Super Mario Bros., you’ll have a good idea of what to expect from Giana Sisters. There are platforms, enemies, and collectible trinkets. You can bop bricks with your head to make stuff come out. The concept may be familiar, but the platforming action is solid throughout.

Giana Sisters includes 80 all-new levels, with a set of 32 “retro” stages unlocked upon completion of the main quest. A preview video is below.
