It's hard to tell whether it's due to commercial pressures at LemonQuest, or because it thinks Java games are going to be worthless in the near future (or a combination of both), but the Spanish publisher has put its entire Java games catalog of over 60 games up for sale.
It says it's now going to focus on online PC and mobile games.
Recently, mid-tier mobile publishers such as I-play and Glu Mobile have also pulled back from Java games, preferring to focus their futures on smartphones.
LemonQuest's detailed website lists its games via the cost of their source code, which is broken down in terms of availability in different global territories, and in terms of localised languages and device compatibility.
The source code itself comes in terms of a distribution licence, which only enables you to port the games to other devices, or a development licence if you change the game in some way. It also includes 3D engines, Bluetooth tools and other development tools.
Either way LemonQuest won't offer any technical support however.
Source code prices range from 3,000 to 10,000 euros per geographical region, or between 500 to 700 euros on a per country basis. The most expensive game is 3D Moto Racing Evolved.
You can see full details on the LemonQuestSources website.
