Disney's Toontown Online Now Available For Macintosh
New "Gags" Added to Game for All Players – PC & MAC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
North Hollywood, Calif., November, 28 2006 - Disney Online today announced the availability of Disney's Toontown Online for Macintosh computers, plus the addition of new "gags" to keep players on their toon-toes. The first massively multiplayer online game designed for kids and their families, Toontown invites players to live life as a cartoon character, along with thousands of other players in a continually growing online world. Now both Power PC and Intel-based Mac players can join the more than 15 million PC-based 'Toon' characters created in the game by downloading Toontown at www.Toontown.com.
"We are thrilled to offer Mac players the chance to get in on the fun and help expand the world of Toontown," said Steve Parkis, vice president of Premium Content for Disney Online. "One of the reasons Toontown is so popular is there's always something new for players - like the special new gags we've just added to the game."
Players can unlock a new arsenal of gags, including a Wedding Cake throw gag, an Ocean Liner drop gag, an Opera Voice sound gag, and more, by reaching the highest skill level on each of their gag tracks. Players have the option of using these new gags either in battle against the Cogs or planting them using the new Estate Gardening feature that was recently added to the game.
Toontown for both Mac and PC is available for download at www.Toontown.com for $9.95 per month, with extended membership packages available at special rates. Each membership includes six separate "Toons," so multiple family members can play as their own character. A free 3-day trial and additional information is available on the site.
