Games To Go
Handheld games have long been a large component
of the video game industry, with Nintendo’s Gameboy
leading the pack since its release in 1989. While the Gameboy
is an all time favorite, Palm OS handhelds tend to be a more common choice
among adult professionals. A typical Red Mercury game player might spend an
hour in an airport, or twenty minutes waiting for a meeting to start. Time that
would otherwise be wasted is instead spent enjoying a Red Mercury game.
With Sony’s recently announced high-resolution
PEG-N710C CLIE handheld, the possibilities for Palm OS games are expanding. Red
Mercury’s aggressive support for these new technologies, combined with the
enjoyable playability of Red Mercury games, will continue to raise expectations
in handheld gaming.
