LANGHORNE, Pa., May 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Casual games developer and publisher eGames, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EGAM) announced today the finalization of an exclusive distribution agreement with the premier online destination for casual entertainment, Big Fish Games(tm), to launch the company's new hidden object game, The Three Stooges(r): Treasure Hunt Hijinks, later this summer. In exchange for a period of exclusive placement on its website, Big Fish Games will heavily promote the game to millions of casual game fans.
"Big Fish Games is widely recognized as the leading online destination for hidden object games, and we couldn't be more pleased to provide our first offering in this genre to their robust network of devoted hidden object game fans," said eGames Product Manager Greg Zesinger.
