"It's so exciting that we can take something that was released so long ago and put it on the iPhone.
"The great thing about the Apple system is that it's so easy to use, it's easier to buy it and it's cheap," added Cecil. "As a small developer it's an opportunity we've been able to grasp and it's made possible because of the advent of digital distribution and of Apple who have reached out to people to buy music and games rather than download it from pirate sites," said Cecil, speaking during the Eurogamer Expo at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. The numbers are impressive for a retro game re-released on a new format, backed by a marketing budget of only "a couple of thousand pounds," according to Cecil. Charles Cecil, managing director of Revolution Software, has told that the iPhone version of Beneath a Steel Sky is on track to sell around 20,000 units in its first month of release.Ĭecil also anticipates that the game will shift around 70,000 copies during its first year on sale, and roughly 100,000 in its entire lifetime.
