CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 20, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Games, Inc.'s (OTCBB:GMSI) newest website, Games.Org, launches with 30 free and tournament-based games, including Yippee!, Chess, Checkers, Crow, Blocks, and Pyramid Solitaire and will rapidly expand its game offering to over 75 free, tournament- and subscription-based games by year end.
Earlier this week, Games, Inc. announced that they are distributing over One Million Dollars in virtual quarters to visitors to their websites over the next few weeks. These free $10 Rolls of Quarters(tm) can be used at Games, Inc.'s newest website: (WWW.GAMES.ORG) to enter skill-based tournaments where players can compete for cash prizes.
In addition to the single-player tournament games, visitors to: (www.Games.org) will also begin beta-testing its multi-player tournaments this month with plans for a launch of its expanded multi-player tournaments in mid-September.
"Many of our players have expressed an interest in multi-player tournaments and we are rapidly building a unique product offering that will differentiate our website from others in the market," said Roger W. Ach, II, President and CEO of Games, Inc.
As Games.Org continues to build over the next few months, visitors to the Site will be able to use the "Roll of Quarters(tm)" as their website currency to purchase subscriptions for branded game play, tournament entries and branded merchandise from the GAMES.ORG Store.
