Joystick Johnny Minigame Arcade Released

For Immediate Release

Alameda, CA, September 26, 2007

Flea Circus Games is happy to announce the release of Joystick Johnny, a marathon of 80's-style minigames set in an authentic arcade atmosphere.

Racing against the clock, Johnny literally jumps into classic game parodies like Hogger, Pizzaroids, and Moonwalk Patrol to chase down the Video Virus, who transforms into a different character for each game it possesses.

But reflexes alone aren't enough. The unique token system requires the player to choose the order of minigames that will maximize their score. Because each arcade -- and each player -- is different, no one strategy is perfect, and the choices become more interesting each time it is played.

Key features of Joystick Johnny include:

Over 25 multi-level minigames 3 play modes: Arcade Challenge, Mystery Mix, and 1-Dollar Dash A hidden 8-bit treasure in every game Player-created online scoreboards 80's electro-pop music by famous video game remixer Makke A free trial is available at joystickjohnny.com.
