PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual games, today announced the launch of Peggle, a new type of video game to enthrall players of any age or gender. Peggle combines elements of pinball, pool and pachinko to create a completely different kind of game experience.
The game challenges players to use skill, strategy and luck to clear progressively more difficult levels of orange pegs by firing a small silver ball from the top of the screen. Stationary and moving obstacles along with numerous power-ups and special effects combine with dynamically-assigned peg colors to make each level unique every time it's played.
Peggle carries a retail price of US$19.95, and a free trial of the deluxe version is available for download at www.popcap.com and will be available on other leading game portals, including RealArcade.com, MSN's Game Zone and Yahoo! Games, next week.
