Fairplay Media, has put all the pieces together to bring the classic American action-adventure series, MacGyver, to the mobile games arena!

MacGyver was a hit television series in the 80’s and 90’s about the adventures of a laid-back but extremely resourceful secret agent whose main asset was his practical application of scientific knowledge and ingenious use of whatever common items were at hand to confront any crisis.

Created by Lee Zlotoff, the original show ran for seven seasons on ABC in the United States and by 1994 was released in over 70 different worldwide markets. Due to popular demand, two TV-movies were released in 1994. MacGyver is still showing around the globe to this day.

Fairplay’s CEO, Simon Phillips enthused “Who doesn’t know MacGyver? To most people MacGyver is a household name that conjures up so many fond memories of puzzle solving, ingenuity and doing ‘a MacGyver’. We’ve been talking to Lee for some time and have constantly discussed different ways of bringing Mac to the mobile games market and we were delighted to be able find a way to do just that!”

“We’re excited to be able to bring MacGyver up to date and into the mobile games market. Games are the perfect way for Mac to start new adventures with both the existing fans and an entirely new global audience as well.  I’m looking forward to working with the team at Fairplay and seeing Mac back in action” said Zlotoff. “What’s more, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the game will go to support The MacGyver Foundation.”

The first MacGyver title is already deep in development and due to be announced in the coming weeks.
