New Gizmondo™ Game Well Above Par
New golf game to tee off tomorrow on Gizmondo
LONDON, 3rd May 2005 - Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc. (other OTC, TGTL), tomorrow releases the nine-hole, fun-filled crazy golf game, Toy Golf, for the new handheld multi-entertainment device.
Crazy in more ways than one, Toy Golf takes a different swing at indoor golfing. The nine different courses are set about a virtual house and each of the nine holes per course sets a challenge that's well above par. Try for Eagles in the loft, Birdies in the bathroom, Bogeys in the kitchen and putt your way through a number of other indoor locations in this golf game of a different perspective.
As well as the testing single player mode, a Bluetooth-connected multiplayer mode uses the multiple camera angles to size up the shots and view angles. It's guaranteed to bring out the Tiger in you!
Cameron Spilman, Gizmondo, offered: "Toy Golf is a fun golfing game that doesn't take the sport too seriously. It's a real pick-up-and-play title and the multiplayer Bluetooth connectivity is simplicity itself."
Toy Golf is available to buy or order online for £9.99 ($19.99, 19.99) through all Gizmondo stockists.
