Merrimack, New Hampshire, October 11, 2002: Ken Winograd and Space-Time Associates announced today the release of version 2.02 of an exciting Macintosh game called Brickles3000. Brickles3000 is an all-new game based on the 'ball and paddle' game called Brickles, which was first offered in 1985, shortly after the introduction of the first Macintosh. Brickles3000 is not your typical 'ball and paddle' game. Brickles3000 features adjustable colors and patterns, adjustable ball and paddle sizes, adjustable speed and window sizes. Even the number of paddles in the game can be changed. Brickles3000 is suitable for everyone from the very youngest children learning to use a mouse, to fast-paced arcade fans. The new Brickles3000, aside from being optimized for the PowerPC, also features much smoother animation than in days past. A new toolbar allows for rapid personalized game customizations, making it a snap to adjust speed, ball and paddle sizes, game colors and window sizes and shapes. Brickles3000 v2.02 improves the ability of the main Brickles window to be re-sized. Brickles3000 requires a PPC Macintosh with a screen resolution of 800x600 (or more), and OS 9 (with CarbonLib 1.6 or greater) or OS X. Brickles3000 is available now for a free trial.
