DreamQuest Software Releases First Cross-Platform Wireless Card Games for Palm OS and Pocket PC Handhelds
URL(s): www.dq.com
Three-Game Bundles Now Available for Handhelds and Windows PCs for Anytime, Anywhere Fun
BOULDER, Colo., May 15, 2002 - DreamQuest Software today announces its "Championship" card games, popular on Windows
PCs and the Internet, are now available as a three-game bundle for Palm OS and Pocket PC handhelds. Championship Hearts, Championship Spades and
Championship Euchre each provide PDA users with playful artwork and challenging card game action. Since the company's games are the first truly
cross-platform wireless games in the industry, players are able to enjoy a fun and challenging game -- anytime, anywhere, and on any device. Players can
challenge the computer on a PC, PDA, or cell phone, and engage their friends over a local or wireless network, or compete and chat in DreamQuest
Software's free Internet lobby.
"We have been thrilled with the reception our games have been receiving as we have been introducing them to handheld device users," said Christopher
Williamson, DreamQuest Software's president and CEO. "It is exciting to deliver on the promise of the latest wireless technologies. PDA gamers can now
dump that stale Solitaire game they've been playing on their PDAs and enjoy lively competition from their friends or our intensely competitive computerized
players."
Each of DreamQuest Software's games allow players to choose from five difficulty levels, dozens of variations, and eight customizable players to sharpen their
skills. The Championship card games are highly regarded for the strength of their design, the challenge of their game-play, and the enjoyment customers get
from being able to play the games on a multitude of platforms.
The Championship card games for handhelds retain the features of the Windows versions, which are also available in a three-game bundle. Beginners will enjoy
hint, undo, replay, and other practice features along with the introductory tutorials. Expert players will appreciate all the statistics and be amazed at how the
eight different opponents will adapt and use advanced strategies. Each game includes over 200 polished deck and table combinations along with hundreds of
sounds. Custom skins allow players to share favorite themes. Customers can choose from three different versions of each game, depending on the level of
features they would like. A "100% Free" version offering an entry-level game, a "Classic" version featuring full offline and online support, and a "Pro" version
with features designed specifically for hardcore players, such as statistics and customization.
The three-game bundles of the "Championship" card games for Palm OS or Pocket PC handhelds are US$39.99 and are currently available as a
downloadable free trial or full version at www.dq.com. The Windows version of the three-game bundle retails for US$49.99.
