Golvellius: Valley of Doom (the other Zelda) hits iPhone

Publisher DotEmu has announced a partnership with D4 Enterprise to release title Golvellius: Valley of Doom, in August for the iPod Touch and iPhone. The game has long been considered the Sega Master system's closest thing to The Legend of Zelda.

"Golvellius is a wonderful addition to our license portfolio and we are pleased to bring Golvellius to the iPhone and iPod Touch for a great retrogaming experience," said Xavier Liard, co-founder and CEO of DotEmu.

The game originally debuted in 1987 by Compile Games , serving as one of the best adventure titles of the SMS.

While Golvellius was definitely better than Aztec Adventure, I think the latter more-resembled Zelda than Golvellius did. It probably also deserves to be mentioned that Golvellius hit the MSX computer first and was ported to the SMS.
