SpinTop Games, a division
of leading casual game developer and publisher PopCap Games, today announced
the immediate availability of Amazing
Adventures The Lost Tomb<sup>™</sup>, a new
“hidden object” puzzle game with an Egyptian theme. SpinTop,
acquired by PopCap in July of this year, is a leading developer of casual
games, with classics such as Mystery P.I.<sup>™</sup>
– The Lottery Ticket, Mahjong
Escape<sup>®</sup>and Mystery Solitaire<sup>™</sup> to its credit. Amazing Adventures The Lost Tomb carries a
retail price of US$19.95, and a free trial of the deluxe version is available
now for download at www.popcap.com and www.spintop-games.com. The game will
also be available on other leading game portals, including RealArcade.com, MSN
Gaming Zone and Yahoo! Games, in mid-November.
“We set out to create an
immersive hidden object game, and decided the Egyptian setting would be perfect
for a number of reasons,” stated Duncan Magee, co-director and co-founder
of SpinTop. “First, the art and imagery is strikingly beautiful and
intriguing; second, there’s so much history to explore in the form of
classic objects and edifices, from the Sphinx to the Great Pyramids.”
In Amazing Adventures The Lost Tomb, adventurers undertake a series of missions
comprising more than 100 levels and well over 2,000 hidden objects spanning
numerous Egyptian locales, structures and settings. Visit the Nile River,
a crowded Cairo
bazaar, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and archaeological digs and throne rooms, to
name a few. Along the way, players are challenged by seven different types of
mini-games and puzzle traps including “spot the differences” as
they strive to uncover the location of the Lost Tomb and the treasure locked
within.
