First Cross-Platform Wireless Card Game
Boulder, CO - Playful artwork paired with challenging card game action is now available as an exciting new game from DreamQuest Software. Available for PalmPilots, PocketPCs, and Windows PCs, Championship Euchre v4.0 has just been released as the only online cross-platform card game that allows users of handheld PDAs and desktop PCs to play together anytime anywhere in their free GameSpy Internet gaming lobby.
Developed using AppForge's cross-platform wireless development platform, Championship Euchre now offers PDA users gaming features only previously available on Windows PCs. Choose from five difficulty levels, dozens of variations, and eight customizable players to sharpen your skills. Favorite Euchre variations such as Partners, Cutthroat, Bid Euchre can be played offline or online.
"Our newest release, AppForge Professional v2.1, contains specific gaming controls that enable game developers to use Microsoft Visual Basicā to create feature rich, colorful cross-platform games," says Chris Tyburski, CTO at AppForge. "Today, game developers can develop for both Palm OS and Pocket PC devices, and in a few short months, will be able to develop for Symbian OS and WinCE devices like the Nokia Communicator and the Casio BE300." Tyburski adds "We are happy to have attracted the talent of the gaming community and look forward to seeing many more exciting games like Championship Euchre."
Championship Euchre is presently a 2002 Independent Games Festival finalist and will be featured at the 2002 Game Developers Conference in San Jose, CA specifically for its innovative use of wireless technology.
