Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 PRESS RELEASE: Alien Invention release their first ground breaking game for Microsoft Smartphone - 'Eclipse: First Wave' Newly formed games company 'Alien Invention' have released the first in a serious of ground breaking games for Microsoft Smartphone, named 'Eclipse: First Wave'. Inspired by the very best shoot-em-ups from the past ten years, Eclipse: First Wave combines classic gameplay with state of the art graphics and sound to fully immerse the player in the non-stop action. Eclipse: First Wave features: - Microsoft Smartphone® 2002 and Windows Mobile® 2003 compatible - 7 Levels of fast arcade action - 2 Different ship types - Upgradable Weapons (cannon, bomb, shield, speed) - Over 40 different animated enemy types - Particles, Weather and other special FX - 16bit graphics - Full stereo music, sound effects and speech - Rumble Mode Paul O'Brien, Founder of MoDaCo Smartphone, the internet's leading Smartphone community (http://smartphone.modaco.com) has been involved in the testing of the Eclipse: First Wave game, as Alien Invention crafted a new benchmark in Smartphone gaming. Paul writes: "The Alien Invention founders Jonathan Smith and Iain Miller are without a doubt two of the most respected members of the flourishing Smartphone community. It's great to see their talents coming together in a game that will have players glued to their phone! I think that Eclipse: First Wave makes a very strong statement about the gaming potential of the Smartphone hardware and operating system - it's impressive that a platform designed from the outset to be a great phone and a valuable business tool can eclipse dedicated mobile gaming hardware from other manufacturers. I'm very excited to be involved with the development of Eclipse: First Wave - it's a great achievement, and can't wait for Alien Invention's next release, Kumite, which is sure to be another hit!"

Guest unclelimey Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 just bought it, works fine, its a great game, although using superlatives like "setting new standards" and "a benchmark " are kinda stretching the truth a little .. nice work though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
