Put on your green thumb as Majesco Entertainment Company, an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced Orchard, the company’s first foray into the casual online gaming market. Developed by BoomZap Entertainment, this engaging simulation tasks players with managing all aspects of a growing orchard and roadside farm stand business.

"Targeted at casual gaming fans, Orchard integrates business and resource management with addictive simulation play that PC gamers will find both challenging and entertaining," said Gui Karyo, Executive Vice President of Operations for Majesco.

When your aunt passes away, the neglected family orchard is left to her only remaining relative -- you! Come rain or shine, it’s your task to dig in and salvage the orchard from its state of disrepair and turn it into the thriving business it once was. Hire and manage workers, plant and harvest crops, construct processing and storage facilities, and advertise and sell products in your efforts to make a profit. You can also use the bounty of the orchard -- including strawberries, blueberries, cherries, grapes and apples -- to create 20 recipes from Blackberry Pie to Strawberry Fudge, all while striving to win awards and build your trophy collection.

Orchard is expected to release online and in stores this holiday.
