A MILLION IN THE
HAND WITH EIDOS PLC

So you’ve
got Millionaire on your PC at work on your PlayStation
at home but how can you get your fix of general
knowledge brain teasers when you’re commuting
between the two ? The answer is simple - Who Wants
To Be A Millionaire? for your Personal Digital
Assistant.
Released
early December, it’ll be available initially on
Palm, followed by a Pocket PC version and a Psion
game in January 2002. The great thing about this
particular version of Millionaire is that Eidos
is giving it away for free! All you have to do
is download it to your PC or Mac and sync to your
PDA to get 50 questions instantly! Then, you have
the option to buy additional question packs priced
at £9.99 per 500! Easy.
The game
follows the format of the show to the letter,
with the three lifelines to help you along the
way as you try and get to the magic £1million
mark. However, an additional option has been added
-a countdown timer - that registers how long it
takes you to answer a question. The quicker you
answer, the more bonus points are awarded and
the better chance you have of topping the high
score table at the end.
David
Burton, who is heading up the project at Eidos
said, "This is a unique offering; it’s the first
time an entertainment brand of this calibre has
appeared on PDA and we’re giving mobile gamers
a great deal by giving away this full-feature
download version. There will also be a mini flash
version of the game for PC that can be e-mailed
as a challenge between friends too."
Bruce
Warren, business development manager - digital
at Celador International added, "Celador International
is excited by the launch of the PDA versions of
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? By partnering with
Eidos we have been able to use its vast experience
with the brand to create a compelling gameplay
experience for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
fans of all ages."
