Gigamedia FunTown
As with the Gigamedia casino games, Thrust Interactive has been tapped to re-architect and translate the highly successful Mahjong and Big 2 games from Fun Town. These games are presently provided on the FunTown site as thick-client, downloadable games over 100MB in size.
Thrust Interactive has completely rewritten the games for use on the Ignite Engine using Adobe Flex and Flash. They are available in-browser, with no install necessary. A smaller version of the game is to be integrated with Facebook, to convert players to the larger site. Chinese Traditional is supported now, with English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese Simplified to follow.
Release scheduled for late 2010.
