Cinemaware® and Amiga are bringing their famous titles to BlackBerry
MIAMI, Florida/SEATTLE, Washington, USA. — March 14, 2013 — Amiga, Inc. and Cinemaware (the company which originally introduced cinematic storytelling into games) are working together to bring the entire Cinemaware catalog of Amiga games to the latest BlackBerry® devices.
“In partnership with Amiga, we are excited to announce the availability of our titles for BlackBerry devices and to be part of the launch of the new BlackBerry 10 platform,” said Oberst Leermeister, a corporate spokesperson for Cinemaware. “These fun and very addictive games can now be played anywhere, by anyone with a new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.”
Amiga is proud to announce the immediate availability of Wings. More than just a simulator, Wings features genuine arcade action and an emotion packed role playing experience. This will be followed by many more classic Cinemaware titles including Defender of the Crown®, Rocket Ranger™, Lords of the Rising Sun™ and It Came from the Desert™. The first Amiga computer shipped in 1985 and was an immediate hit with game developers and publishers. Many of today’s best known game publishers got their start on the Amiga. The high-quality production of games from the likes of Team 17, Ocean, EA, Factor 5, Lucas Arts, Bitmap Brothers and Cinemaware, to name just a few, coupled with the state-of-the-art hardware made an unbeatable combination. Today Amiga, Inc. is working with these publishers to make many of these amazing games available to play once again.
