MACROSPACE’S CANNONS TOURNAMENT MOBILE GAME LAUNCHED ON ORANGE WORLD
London, UK – 31 March 2004 – Macrospace, the global provider of mobile games and mobile gaming services, today announced the launch of its multiplayer mobile game Cannons Tournament on Orange World, the mobile content portal available exclusively to Orange customers. Orange World allows users to personalise their mobile phones with logos, wallpapers and ringtones, and also gives over 30 million Orange customers access to Java games and other mobile data services.
Cannons Tournament is a breakthrough in mobile gaming, allowing up to four players to play simultaneously over GPRS and 3G networks regardless of location. Players are able to upload their best scores to an exclusive Orange World high score table, as well as message their opponents using the special in-game chat feature.
“This agreement with Orange World gives Orange customers the opportunity to experience the unique thrill of multiplayer mobile gaming for the first time with Cannons Tournament, as well as being able to download other fantastic mobile games from Macrospace,” said Stephan Ansari, Head of Business Development at Macrospace. “With a potential reach of 30 million customers Orange and Macrospace see huge potential for multiplayer applications, and we look forward to working closely with Orange World to launch further Macrospace multiplayer titles in the future.”
Cannons Tournament puts gamers in charge of a tank with the object of the game to hit your opponent before he hits you. As well as great gameplay and graphics, Cannons Tournament contains tons of weapon power ups and dynamic weather with gusting wind and even snow. Players can challenge other gamers who are online to play in multiplayer mode, or play against specially created bots on the multiplayer server. Between shots players can send instant chat messages, and can see how they rate against the top tank commanders on the daily, monthly and all-time high score tables.
Cannons Tournament is already available to Orange World subscribers in the UK, and will be rolled out across all Orange World territories in the coming weeks. Cannons Tournament was first launched in September 2003, and has already proved a hit with mobile gamers around the world, with over 200,000 multiplayer game sessions played to date.
