Up Retail Lineup with Adventures of
Robinson Crusoe
Hidden Object Game Sets Sail for Game
Retailers in November
LANGHORNE, Pa., September 30, 2009 – Casual games
publisher and developer eGames, Inc. (Pink Sheets: EGAM) announced a publishing
agreement with MagicIndie Softworks today to distribute Adventures of Robinson Crusoe to retail stores this November. Based on the classic novel, Crusoe was among the top selling hidden
object adventure games of 2009 on multiple online game portals.
“Adventures
of Robinson Crusoe adds to arguably the most impressive retail portfolio in
company history,” said eGames Vice President, Sales and Marketing Rich
Siporin. “With games like Mystery Legends™: Sleepy Hollow and 4 Elements™ already achieving early retail
success, we look forward to watching Robinson
Crusoe sail into PC game retailers just in time for the holiday season.”
Based on the literary masterpiece first published
in 1719, Adventures of Robinson Crusoe puts
casual gamers in the shoes of the world’s most famous castaway. In an adventure spanning 28 years, players
hunt for supplies and weapons on a treacherous desert island, match wits with
hungry cannibals, solve mysterious puzzles, and build a seaworthy vessel sturdy
enough to return to civilization.
"Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is
a very unique gem, combining simple and yet very addictive adventure gameplay
with a classic story and a completely unique game goal – building of a ship,”
said MagicIndie Softworks Director Vladislav Chetrusca. “While creating the game we primarily tried to
combine the dramatic story of Robinson Crusoe with fun and humorous situations
that should entertain the player from the beginning to the end."
