Mobile YLMPICS popular
by Kit

Wednesday, August 18 2004

YLYMPICS sign over half a million users.

YetiSports informed VGLN.com that within the first 5 days of "YLMPICS" - the new global mobile phone game sponsored by games platform yetisports.org - more than 630,000 participants registered to play. The competition is scheduled to run from August 13 through August 29, and Stephan Mahrhofer of Edelweiss medienwerkstatt expects the number of participants to double by the end of the event: 'Lots of yeti fans are still in the training phase, preparing for the finals in forums and communities.' The resounding success of the world premiere of YLYMPICS derives from an entirely new approach to combining Web services and mobile phones.

YLYMPICS
August 13 - 29, 2004
www.yetisports.org

The goal of YLYMPICS, which is an adaptation of the famous 'Yetisports Part 1 - Pingu Throw', is to get a penguin to "fly" as far as possible. The game can be downloaded free via WAP to any mobile phone. The highest scores will be published on the homepage, and cool prizes will be awarded to the best of the best!

* First worldwide mobile game competition
* Free game download
* Highscore upload
