A new game for Java-enabled phones based on the "Bill and Ted" films has been unveiled.

According to the Cellular News website the game will be available in the last quarter of this year.

Players control both Bill and Ted - each with his own unique abilities - as they explore 50 levels based in five different time periods.

Kevin Holloway, director of publishing at Kuju Wireless, told Cellular News: "We're extremely pleased to be working with the popular and entertaining characters of Bill and Ted.

"Their appeal and humour makes them ideal for hours of mobile phone fun."

The original movie "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" has become one of the most popular teenage comedies of the last 15 years.

Starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, it spawned a sequel, two animation series, a live action TV series, a live action theme park attraction and dozens of items of merchandise.
