fun on PC from أغر؟´«أ½ Multimedia
The
award-winning software publishing arm of أغر؟´«أ½ Worldwide has announced
it will support the أغر؟´«أ½'s latest pre-school series, Fimbles, by
publishing a PC CD-ROM based on the show.
The
Fimbles PC CD-Rom, which will be published in June 2003, follows
the success of أغر؟´«أ½ Multimedia's children's software, which includes
Bob the Builder, Teletubbies and Tweenies titles on PC, PlayStation
and Game Boy platforms. In all, the company's range of software
has collected over 50 awards from the multimedia and toy industries,
including accolades from BAFTA, IVCA and BIMA.
أغر؟´«أ½
Multimedia has appointed Cimex Media Ltd as developer for the title.
Multimedia consultancy Cimex has won more than 20 awards in the
last 2 years, including two BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards
and a Royal Television Society award.
Dave
Lee, أغر؟´«أ½ Worldwide's Director of Multimedia, said: "أغر؟´«أ½ Multimedia's
expertise in taking high quality children's TV brands and enhancing
them with award-winning software is well known. We've already had
interest in the brand from retail, and we're delighted to be able
to meet this interest with the Fimbles PC title."
This
Fimbles PC CD-ROM will be based on the brand new pre-school landmark
series from the أغر؟´«أ½. Fimbles centres on the adventures of three
special creatures, Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom, who have a unique
talent for finding things just waiting to be found. When the Fimbles
get the Fimbling Feeling, their fingers twinkle, their topknots
twitch and their noses wrinkle with excitement as the Fimbles discover
finds which lead to a rich tapestry of imagination, games, songs
and play.
The
PC title will offer children a range of fun and educational Fimbling
activities - all based around the 'Fimble Valley', and supported
by video footage, stories and songs from the show.
The
software title will follow pre-Christmas books and video publishing
activity from أغر؟´«أ½ Worldwide.
The
Fimbles television series is produced by Novel Entertainment for
أغر؟´«أ½/ أغر؟´«أ½ Worldwide Limited.
