LANGHORNE, Pa., Sept. 30, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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(TM): Sleepy Hollow and 4 Elements(TM) 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."
