ZAPSPOT, INC. ANNOUNCES FALL-WINTER RELEASES WITH NEW GAME
GREETINGS FEATURE
Viral
applications and services are all the rage and ZapSpot™
has cornered the viral games market. Look for a series of thematic
and holiday inspired games with special sharing and pass-along
features.
New York, NY,
October 5, 2000 - ZapSpot has kicked-off
its fall-winter lineup of fun, sharable games with a new,
politically charged game--Mudslinger™, where the top presidential
contenders stand their ground and slay it out for the title of
Ultimate Mudslinging Champion.
Mudslinger will be an exclusive featured download on CNET's
www.download.com, one of ZapSpot's partner sites, starting on
October 6. Like all
ZapSpot releases, Mudslinger will come integrated with the ZapSpot
Game Companion™, which consistently ranks as the top game download
on download.com and receives user approval and recommendation
ratings as high as 98%.
Additional fall games include a series of holiday inspired titles,
starting with Hallow Meenies™, a spooky yet fun Halloween
challenge that includes the ZapSpot Game Greeting™, feature. This
exciting new feature lets users send customized games to their
friends and family with a personalized message built right into the
game. A user simply enters a special holiday message and the e-mail
address of the recipient, and a personalized version of the game
will be sent right to the recipient’s e-mail in-box. Hallow
Meenies will be followed by a thematic Thanksgiving game and a
special Christmas release. In addition to these holiday inspired
games, look for ZapSpot's continued releases of fun and addictive
arcade, puzzle and card games, including Jewels of Anubis™,, a
challenging visual matching game with an Egyptian edge.
"We are very excited to be releasing a series of thematic and
holiday games that will further increase the pass-along of our
applications", says CEO Dan Frumin. "One of the things
that makes ZapSpot so popular with our users is that they can easily
share these applications with their friends and families. By
creating a series of holiday inspired games and adding new sharing
features like ZapSpot Game Greetings, we're going to make it even
more compelling for users to share the applications that they like
best with everyone”.
All ZapSpot games and applications are extremely compact in size,
which makes them quick to download, easy to learn, and easy to
share. In addition, ZapSpot's unique design lets users install,
collect, and launch their ZapSpot applications with just a single
mouse-click. And unlike pure online services, ZapSpot does not
require a live connection to the Internet, so players can enjoy
their ZapSpot applications at anytime. Users can build their own
personal collection of ZapSpot games by visiting www.ZapSpot.com and
downloading the latest applications, or they can receive the latest
ZapSpot releases in e-mail through the ZapSpot newsletter by sending
an e-mail to subscribe@ZapSpot.com.
