"Explore Fantastic Four will be Dissecta's fourth live event", said Dissecta founder Tim Richards, "and it will provide an opportunity to hear from Melbourne video game developer Torus Games, about how they worked in the international game world turning an original comic property into a video game for an iconic handheld platform."
Fantastic Four the film has already taken $295 million worldwide since release in July. The video game licence was acquired by US based Activision, a US$1.4 billion dollar publisher. Fantastic Four the video game was released for multiple formats with the PS2, Xbox, and Game Cube versions created by Californian developer Seven Studios (bought by Activision in May), and the PC version by Canadian company Beenox (bought by Activision in May as well). Another version of Fantastic Four was created for the Game Boy Advance by Melbourne's own Torus Games; the GBA is a platform which has sold over 65 million units since release with Nintendo soon to release a further GBA platform, the Game Boy Micro (weighing 80 paper clips).
