Elephant and Oberon Media Announce Fall Casual Game Lineup for the PC
Posted by Wade "TNT" Hinkle, Sep 18, 2007 10:27

An exciting new lineup of mass-market casual games hits retail this fall, as Elephant Entertainment and Oberon Media announce NBC’s National Heads Up Poker Championship, Dream Day Honeymoon, The Rise of Atlantis, Mahjong Escape: Ancient Japan and Yumsters. Demonstrating the fun and accessibility of the casual games category, Elephant Entertainment and Oberon Media’s new lineup offers consumers the types of games they are interested in playing.

"Our new lineup is packed with successful franchises whose online counterparts are among the download leaders, and we’re excited to be bringing them to retail," said Wim Stocks, President and COO of Elephant Entertainment. "Mass-market casual games are exploding and are sure to be a hot item this holiday, and Elephant’s diverse lineup has something for every type of player."

The second in a series of romantic and unique seek-and-find adventures, Dream Day Honeymoon follows in the footsteps of the hit game Dream Day Wedding, only this time Jenny and Robert are off on an exciting tropical honeymoon and players must help them search for the perfect souvenir. Across 30 beautifully rendered levels filled with exotic hot-spots such as Pa’ani Beach, Spa Luana, and Tony’s Tiki Bar, players search for thousands of hidden treasures on their list, and hope to unlock an extra First Class level where they can help the happy couple solve their honeymoon crisis.

For puzzle fanatics, The Rise of Atlantis sets players on a quest through ancient lands such as Babylon, Carthage, Egypt and Phoenicia, to gather the seven great powers of Poseidon. With 77 levels of puzzle matching fun, The Rise of Atlantis adds in spectacular bonuses and power-ups, and backs it with a fantastic soundtrack for a puzzle experience unlike any other. Those who finish the quest and complete the game receive a stunning animated 3D Atlantis screen saver.

Based on NBC’s popular poker tournament, NBC’s National Heads Up Poker Championship is the official video game version that puts players at the final table inside an exact replica of Caesar’s Palace. With a special one-on-one, head-to-head Texas Hold ’Em tournament mode, NBC’s National Heads Up Poker Championship puts players as close to the action without actually being there. Whether pushing the pot limit or carefully checking down, there are a million ways to play your hand and only the most skilled card sharks can be the champion.

The second game in the hit Mahjong Escape series, Mahjong Escape: Ancient Japan includes all the classic mahjong action that players love, and enhances it with all-new features including two different game modes, over 200 levels, a Japanese-inspired soundtrack and 20 hand-painted backgrounds. Along the way, players will travel across 12 distinct Japanese eras, unlocking wisdom as they collect the Emperor’s lost treasures.

Rounding out the diverse lineup is Yumsters - cute and stretchy creatures that are gonzo about fruit and music. In order to earn money for their band, Yumsters must stretch across their garden and clean it of all fruit. Across 57 levels - including five musical ones - players hope to earn enough money to buy the best musical instruments and ultimately win the musical contest.
