INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 20, 2001 - Macmillan Software, an imprint of Pearson Technology Group (NYSE:PSO), announces the release of "Marc Saltzman's Top 250 Games for the Palm OS." Don't waste your precious time scouring the Internet and sifting through mediocre games for your beloved personal digital assistant (PDA). With "Marc Saltzman's Top 250 Games for the Palm OS," a new value-priced CD-ROM compilation, Palm players can tap away at the very finest freeware and shareware titles available, and in a number of categories: card, casino, sports, action, arcade, puzzles, strategy, word games, role-playing, adventure and racing games. The games are designed to work on both grayscale and color devices running the Palm OS(R) 3.x or higher, including the Palm III/V/VII/m series, the Handspring(TM) Visor(TM) series, the Sony(R) Clie(TM) series, the Kyocera(TM) SmartPhone, and others. By navigating through the easy-to-use interface, gamers can select which game(s) to install to the handheld; a product description, picture of the game, and installation instructions are provided for each title. Hand-picked by celebrated and syndicated video game journalist Marc Saltzman (and author of the popular "Game Design: Secrets of the Sages" book series), each of the games in this comprehensive collection have been played and approved, and tested for compatibility and viruses. While many of these games are full-featured freeware titles, most are limited shareware or demos of full games, so some features may be locked or gameplay may be restricted by time. In other cases, the entire full game is given in good faith. "In terms of the quality of games, `Marc Saltzman's Top 250 Games for the Palm OS' is a first of its kind," maintains Dave Culverwell, publisher, Macmillan Software. "Gamers on the go -- regardless of their individual gaming tastes -- will find countless hours of entertainment." Marc Saltzman adds, "This jam-packed anthology of Palm OS games includes something for everyone, whether they're into remakes of popular arcade and puzzle games, chess and checkers iterations, solo or multiplayer card games, blackjack and poker diversions, hockey and basketball games, or even deep role-playing games (RPGs). Most gamers will be surprised how good these Palm-based games look and play on their beloved PDA ... we're very proud of this all-inclusive collection." For great gaming to go, pick up "Marc Saltzman's Top 250 Games for the Palm OS" today.
