LONDON - 28 November 2003 - AlienPants Ltd (www.alienpants.com) has licensed their SMS-based Hints , Tips and Cheats service to Digital Jesters Ltd for use in providing support to their customers.
Customers can request Cheats, Hints and Tips for games published by Digital Jesters by sending the keyword DJESTERS, followed by their question, to the short code 60070. The question is then passed to AlienPants' core application, and a Cheat Master then replies directly to the customer's mobile phone. The service itself is not specific to any one mobile network, and the 60070 short code is available from all mobile networks except Virgin Mobile and 3.
"The service is available anywhere at almost any time, so you can find out the specific cheat, hint or tip you need while you're playing the game," said Tom Gordon, CEO of AlienPants. "Just pause the game, send in your question, and the answer will come straight back to your phone, letting you continue with your game."
"Mobile phones have become a 24/7 necessity. We turn to our phones for convenience and speed, so it makes sense that this gaming service is made available through this medium." said Leo Zullo, Marketing Director of Digital Jesters. "It also makes sense to deal with a company that has its roots firmly in gaming, so that enquiries are dealt with properly and with understanding."
The DJESTERS Cheat service will initially used to provide support for Digital Jesters' first two games, TrackMania (www.trackmaniagame.com) and Virtual Skipper 3 (www.vshq.com), however the service will be immediately available in support of all titles released by Digital Jesters in the future.
TrackMania and Virtual Skipper 3 are in stores now.
