LANGHORNE, Pa., Sept. 29, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Casual games developer and publisher eGames, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EGAM) announced today plans to develop multiple games for the iPhone(tm) platform.

"With development efforts already in play for eGames titles across the PC, Nintendo DS and Wii, the iPhone represents a great opportunity to further leverage our internal properties, increase brand awareness, and diversify our product line," said Rich Siporin, eGames Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
