If your looking to take yourself back to the past, the orignators of the RPG Â Final Fantasy is now available on Windows Phones. So download and enjoy like it’s 1987 all over again.
Dictionary.com defines an anachronism as “something or someone that is not in its correct historical or chronological time, especially a thing or person that belongs to an earlier time.” A steam-powered car on an interstate highway, for instance, would be an anachronism. Similarly, playing a game that dramatically pre-dates the technology you’re playing it on is delightfully anachronistic.
Case in point, 1987’s Final Fantasy is now available for Windows Phone. The $6.99 app works on Windows Phone devices running Mango or newer and supports four languages: English, French, Chinese and Japanese. It also allows ancient cave-people like the Joystiq staff to reflect on how far technology has come, and gives young whippersnappers a chance to impress their friends by pretending to remember a game that came out before they were born.
