CINCINNATI, Oct. 12, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Games, Inc. (OTCBB:GMSI) announced today the expansion of its multi-player game list with the addition of a new word game, "Bewilder." This game will be offered for free initially. Tournament play will begin by the end of October, in conjunction with the announcement of several additional multi-player Board games.
"Word games have always proven popular with the casual games audience," said Roger W. Ach, Games, Inc. Chairman and CEO. "Bewilder is a fast-paced game, tied to an on-line dictionary to ensure the integrity of the game."
"Our audience is increasing rapidly and is always hungry for new games," stated Myles Cairns, Games, Inc. CFO. "We will be offering at least two new games each month over the next year and have some unique and exciting games on tap."
