Today, Wadjet Eye Games, the publisher of compelling modern classics of the adventure gaming ilk, [announced](http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/04/blackwell-adventure-game-series-coming-to-ios/?ref=killscreen.com) that they are bringing to iOS their back catalogue of well-regarded games, such as *Primordia* and the *Blackwell* series. It’s great news, because adventure games and tablets are a match made in, if not heaven, then, at a relatively highbrow drinking establishment.

When tablets first made a splash, the touchable devices seemed destined for a Renaissance of the adventure game. Touching and tapping was a natural fit for the venerable genre historically controlled by the click of a mouse. However, that future never materialized.

Aside from the *Monkey Island Special Edition*, the vast majority of LucasArts back catalog was left by the wayside. For whatever reason, the classics fans were clamoring, such as *Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango*, and *Full Throttle*, never made an appearance. While Double Fine, a.k.a. the house that Tim Schafer built, has ventured out in other directions, they haven’t released a proper adventure title on the platform. Of course, there’s Telltale. And while they have worked wonders with *The Walking Dead* and *The Wolf Among Us*, there hasn’t exactly been a groundswell of games like them.

But now that Wadjet Eye is coming out guns-a’blazing, hopefully others will follow suit, and we’ll see what these tablets can really do for the adventurer with gadgets.
