LANGHORNE, Pa., Sept. 22, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- eGames, Inc. (OTCBB:EGAM), a leading publisher of Family Friendly(TM), affordable consumer entertainment PC games, today announced that October 11, 2004 will mark the launch of www.eGamesOnline.com. This new website will feature high quality free online versions of games that have already been consumer favorites at many North American retail stores. Card games, action puzzles, and daily jigsaws are just a few of the popular game genres to be featured on this new gaming destination, and are intended to provide casual gamers with the opportunity to experience the fun associated with playing addictive "Family Friendly" games. This website will be designed to support an online community revolving around eGames products and brands, featuring game-specific chat rooms, forums, high score boards, and more -- all the features desired by today's growing online gaming community.
"The market for free online and downloadable games is growing at a tremendous rate," said Rich Siporin, vice president of sales and marketing for eGames. "The launching of this new website will expand our exposure on the Internet beyond the capacity of our existing ecommerce website," Siporin added. eGames Online will offer downloadable demos of free unique online games, with links for consumers to buy the downloadable full game versions at www.egames.com. Visiting consumers will be encouraged to register online for added benefits, such as exclusive access to newly released games.
This new website is designed to be supported by advertising revenues generated from the website and within the free online games, and consumer sales of the downloadable full release game versions. Additionally, eGames will offer an Affiliate Program that will provide third-party webmasters with the ability to offer free online games on their websites as added content for their visitors, as well as the opportunity to benefit from incremental sales of downloadable games, while at the same time helping to rapidly expand eGames' Internet presence.
