Arctic Stud Poker Run
Press Release PROVIDED BY GAMES PRESS
For those who crave great games and great food, America's original fast food hamburger restaurant and a truly original computer game make the perfect combination
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
– Got Game Entertainment today announced it has partnered with White Castle, America’s original fast food hamburger restaurant, to celebrate the release of new computer game, “Arctic Stud Poker Run”. From now until April 27, this truly original new computer game combining armed combat and off-road racing with high stakes poker will be the focus of White Castle radio promotions. The “Arctic Stud Poker Run” demo will also be linked to for free download from the White Castle website at www.WhiteCastle.com. And, for 5,000 lucky gamers craving sustenance during those marathon “poker runs”, coupons redeemable for three free hamburgers from White Castle will be found in a select run of “Arctic Stud Poker Run” retail boxes.
“Arctic Stud Poker Run” was developed by Game Refuge in the Chicago area, home to more than 80 White Castle restaurants, and their signature SlydersŪ kept the team going on many a long game development night. Indeed, the development team was inducted into White Castle Cravers Hall of Fame.
“White Castle played a big part in Game Refuge’s development of ‘Arctic Stud Poker Run’ and, perhaps not surprisingly, gamers will find that the restaurants even make a tasty appearance in the game,” said Got Game Entertainment President Howard Horowitz.
In fact, a White Castle restaurant appears in 28 of the 126 levels of “Arctic Stud Poker Run”, and players can even grab and eat SlydersŪ to increase their health and stamina in the game.
“Arctic Stud Poker Run” is an arcade-style combat racing game for the PC developed by Game Refuge, the veteran arcade team behind “Rampage World Tour” and “General Chaos”, and published in North America by Got Game Entertainment. In this decidedly irreverent, over-the-top reinvention of real-life cross-country "poker runs", players race from place to place picking up playing cards in an effort to assemble a winning hand. With its revolutionary multi-player battle experience, “Arctic Stud Poker Run” is an action-packed “full-contact poker” game of high stakes, high speeds, and high explosives.
