The Great Giana Sisters made JumpnRun gaming available for home computer users all over the world. In 2009, the blondes finally return and with that, they make it all the way to Nintendo DS for the first time.
Back in the late 1980s, there was literally no chance to play JumpnRun games on home computers like Commodore 64, Amiga or Atari ST. Until 1987, when a small German development team released The Great Giana Sisters.
Their father, Armin Gessert, let them become stars of the genre over night. The Great Giana Sisters was a JumpnRun that had everything home computer gamers back then only could experience on video game consoles: A fantastic game world on many different levels, that challenged the players hand eye coordination skills to their maximum to jump over deep canyons, collect bonuses and succeed when fighting enemies just by jumping on their back.
Now, The Great Giana Sisters are finally back! Publisher dtp entertainment and developer Spellbound Entertainment in co-operation with Bitfield are going to release their new adventure on Nintendo DS in June 2009.
