Tiger Telematics Gives Green Light to Indie Studios for New,
Short-Time GPS Gizmondo Game
LONDON, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gizmondo Europe Ltd., subsidiary of
Jacksonville, Fla.-based Tiger Telematics Inc. (TIGR), announced today that its
strategic partner, game designer Indie Studios, will produce the second of a
unique series of games for the exciting Gizmondo device. Like the first game
"Colors," previewed recently at the E3-Expo, the new game will also utilize the
unique GPS functionality of the Gizmondo, thus adding yet another exceptional
element to game play.
The working title for the new game is "City" and is a multiplayer game
including elements of GPS/GPRS. In contrast to "Colors," which provides a long
game scenario, "City" is a shorter in duration game "short-time game," a
concept that aims to provide first-class entertainment for Gizmondo gamers in
limited time situations.
"The Gizmondo is a constant companion mobile device, so it is important that we
have content that engages the user even if he or she is simply taking a short
bus ride or just waiting for a friend," says Mikael Astrom, Acquisition
Manager, Indie Studios. "I love fast action games with plenty of options. And
the Gizmondo certainly has amazing capabilities. You have to remember that
we're talking about next-level gaming, so it is a very exciting development."
Carl Freer, Managing Director, Gizmondo Europe says: "There is a strong wish
from gamers of all ages to have a game concept with a quicker outcome, as a
complement to the more time-consuming games. You don't always have the time to
play for hours on a game that never ends. But short-time games using the
multifaceted offerings of the Gizmondo give users yet another choice."
Stockholm-based Indie Studios develop games specifically for the eagerly
anticipated Gizmondo multi-entertainment device, multi-player games that
incorporate a player's physical location into the game itself, creating a
unique virtual gaming world that can extend to the off-line world. Games
leverage Gizmondo's GPS-capabilities and messaging over GPRS as well as the
device's Bluetooth and not forgetting the digital camera to help personalize
the gaming experience even further. Players also have the option to create
"crews" or teams with friends and can test their skills against other teams.
The Gizmondo, powered by a Microsoft Windows CE.net platform, boosts a 2.8-inch
TFT color screen with a Samsung ARM9 400Mhz processor and incorporates 64-bit
graphics accelerator. It provides cutting-edge gaming, multimedia messaging, a
MP3 music player, Mpeg4 movie playing capability, a digital camera, and a GPRS
network link to allow wide-area network gaming. Additionally, it contains a GPS
chip for location based services, is equipped with Bluetooth for use in
multi-player gaming and accepts MMC card accessories.
Available Q4 2004, the Gizmondo and "City" will be sold worldwide at consumer
electronics and toy retailers worldwide.
