The Activision Decathlon now out on iOS and Android

And the second game that I wanted to cover today from Marmalade Play is a new sports title called “The Activision Decathlon”. You can download for Android on Google Play and iOS on iTunes.

I don’t know how many of you are old enough to remember the good old “Daley Thompson’s Decathlon” back on the Spectrum / Commodore (if you are then you probably have trouble reading the text on this page :)), but I was addicted to that 8 bit classic, so I have a bit of a soft spot for decathlon style games. Here’s more info on Marmalade Play’s latest and greatest:
