Battle Bloodthirsty Pirates, Gain Riches, Smuggle Opium...If You Dare

Pirate Junk(TM), the browser-based adventure game, has been updated with battles, more exciting scenarios and an improved user interface for Mac and PC players

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2004 -- The classic game, Taipan, developed an almost fanatic following, and is still highly revered. Taipan's influence has been enjoyed by a growing fan base in the online adventure game, Pirate Junk (http:/www.piratejunk.com), for two years. However, Pirate Junk has recently been improved upon, and now sports battles at sea, warehouse cargo storage for opportunities to gain greater wealth, new bank options, enhanced functionality and a more pleasing user interface.

Pirate Junk began as a browser-based adventure game that functioned optimally using Internet Explorer on a Windows PC. It had a fantasy-action-adventure format, featured rich graphics and a fun storyline set in the exotic 1860's on and around the China Seas. Now, Pirate Junk 2.0, built and run entirely on Mac equipment and servers, goes much further, with more ability to gain greater wealth, battles at sea with up to five rogue ships, more scenarios, more fun, more images and better functionality. And this new version is also available to Mac users! Any computer with Internet access that uses Internet Explorer 5+ can fully enjoy all the features and fun.

Pirate Junk 2.0 was developed by entrepreneur and experienced programmer Stephen Oachs, owner of Pixelmation Internet Technologies (http://www.pixelmation.com). "We worked hard to bring this level of game play to the browser and so far it's been a huge success. The game play is exceptional and challenging. It's really a new adventure every time. It's an intuitive program with new scenarios added every chance we get."

Why the new version? Oachs explained, "One of the biggest requests we had was for real-time interactive pirate battles. We couldn't resist the challenge. We've also incorporated historic regional research and period mythology to keep game play completely entertaining...and somewhat educational as well. Word of-mouth was pretty good for version 1, but we are blown away by the response we're getting for 2.0 - Pirate Junk is a classic game concept available on the Internet, and we're very excited to offer it game lovers and pirate fans alike."
