Like the anti-hero who miraculously revives at the climax of a blockbuster to force another adrenaline boost on the audience, EDGE Games - the operation of infamous IP litigant Tim Langdell - is apparently back in operation.

It's just released the snappily titled EDGEBobby2 onto the Apple Store for iPhone and iPad.

From the description, we can read it's the "Sequel to the highly popular classic game Bobby Bearing.

"Bobby returns to the realm of Technofear to seek out his brothers who have got lost again. Easy to play, but very hard to master, this arcade action style 3D puzzler will keep you challenged for hours."

From the single screenshot, it looks a bit like Marble Madness meets ecstasy iconography, and is available in a paid universal 99c, 0.79 or 59p release, or a free version which just contains the first zone [iTunes link].

Apparently, there are also plans for the game to be released for Android, PC and Mac.

I'm surprised it didn't also say releasing for 360, PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS, PSP and PSP Vita.

He usually tries to cover ALL his bases.

funkystudent · Jul 4, 2011

he actually released a game?

well good for him.

I like this.

kaizoku · Jul 4, 2011

is the EA case done yet? what happened?

speedpop · Jul 4, 2011

Game looks like shit. I bet it runs like shit too, like something straight out of the 80s.

chubigans · Jul 4, 2011

Downloading now. Can't wait to play it. Muhahaha

Kind of insults the 80s.

wrowa · Jul 4, 2011

Well, after we and everyone else argued that everyone is free to use the word Edge, we can hardly blame him for using the word again.

This game is friggin ugly, though.

bill.cosby · Jul 4, 2011

Bomba. Calling it now

Wow. Those are some... um... interesting visual aesthetics that creative master has come up with.

Totally. Those afwul CGs of the 80s were the first thing that came to my mind when seeing the picture.

saunderez · Jul 4, 2011

Time for MobiGame to petition Apple to have it removed from the App Store just like Langdell did to them. They own the rights to EDGE now.

That reminds me of the shareware I downloaded demos en masse for in the 90s

Should've just called it Bobby Bearing 2.

chubigans · Jul 4, 2011

Three EDGE logo intros (EDGE, The EDGE and EDGE Games) and one crash later, I've given up (level 4). Controls are pretty poor (my finger is literally in the way the entire time with the control setup in the game, and the accelerometer has no calibration option so it also works poorly). The music also glitches out after the title screen. Bah.

Note I played the free version, because there's no way in hell I'm giving a dollar to that guy.

If he wasn't trying to troll everyone involved in the whole EDGE scandal he would have.

It's obvious he's trying to antagonise MobiGame.

MrNyarlathotep · Jul 4, 2011

1) Buy iOS for Dummies
2) Release a title making prominent use of the EDGE trademark to legally prove its still active and relevant in todays game industry
3) ???
4) ~~profit~~ Litigation

jvm · Jul 4, 2011

phisheep, call your office.

Kabuki Quantum Lover · Jul 4, 2011

I believe he must have hired a high school student to produce this during study breaks. It's very bad.

Ha

I bet he's going to have some very thoughtful reviews pop up on the App Store real soon!

Vespa · Jul 4, 2011

Fuuu he's back?!

Aquavelvaman · Jul 4, 2011

Is there some angle I'm not aware of in naming it "Bobby"? Is there some EA property that has a character named Bobby or something that he's targeting?

Edit: Oh it's from an old C64 game he made. Weird.

Im surprised you didn't know, it was a highly popular game and a true classic according to many sources such as and limited to Tim Langdell.

I didn't know cockroaches could survive for this long after having their heads cut off.

Dartastic · Jul 4, 2011

This is the kind of game that makes me wish that I pirated games on my iPhone.

GavinGT · Jul 4, 2011

I'm pretty sure he just releases a crappy game every now and again so he can claim he's an active developer and entitled to his trademarks.

Gamejunky · Jul 4, 2011

So is this guy like the new Derek Smart? Worse, better?

Speevy · Jul 4, 2011

Move over Petz: Crazy Monkeys. He's trademarked shovelware.

fossil coast · Jul 4, 2011

He's seriously mentally ill. That's the only way to explain behaviour like this. Now I almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

Eusis · Jul 4, 2011

Forget the fact he's still around, how can anyone be THAT obsessed with a word? Beaten up in court, and still swears to use it even if the use is completely terrible, what's the point?

Don't feel sorry for him. He's trying to make money from all of this. He's scum. Scum that desperately needs to see a doctor, but still scum.

App Store finally validated.

dallow_bg · Jul 4, 2011

OMG, it's hilariously awful.
Try the free version

I like how the intro screen says:

"EDGE"

Then for a split second the word "THE" appears above it.

"The
EDGE"

It then goes away and it's left as:

"EDGE
GAMES"

Someone needs to put this on Youtube, I refuse to download it even if there's a lite/free version.

Download it. There's no ads for him to make money off of, plus you can rate the game after downloading!

I've seen better design on a Geocities page in the mid-90s.
