Jagex Launches FunOrb Games

CAMBRIDGE, England, February 27 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Games Portal Offers Greater Depth of Gameplay and Community 
Features

Jagex Ltd, the online games developer behind RuneScape, today launched 
FunOrb, their latest games offering. FunOrb is an engaging website that 
offers an array of online games, which have greater depth of play than 
traditional casual games.

FunOrb has been designed with time-pressed gamers in mind.
"For the first time, there is a generation of experienced gamers, turned
young professionals, who want to play and be challenged, but are unable to
devote large amounts of free time to gaming. FunOrb addresses this niche by
blending quality entertainment with social functionality, offering players of
all levels a complete social gaming experience," said Geoff Iddison, CEO,
Jagex.

FunOrb will encompass a broad range of game genres, including
classic shooters, puzzlers, 3D platformers and strategy games. FunOrb offers
a mix of single and multiplayer games, complete with virtual 'lobbies'
enabling users to choose who to play against from hundreds of other FunOrb
players. Additional features such as friends league tables, player
achievements, forums and instant messaging will also be available in-game or
on the website.

While a large portion of FunOrb is free, those who become
members will be granted complete access to the site with additional game
levels, achievements and community features. A new game or feature will be
added to FunOrb every two weeks and new multiplayer elements will be rolled
out as the site continues to evolve.

FunOrb games use the same Java technology that helped to make
RuneScape so successful. The proprietary technology means that the games can
be played using any internet browser, without the need for long downloads or
access to a high speed internet connection. Once downloaded, the games are
cached and available almost instantly.
