Yo Ho Ho - It's Puzzle Pirates!

Posted by simoniker on Saturday July 19, 2003 @02:35PM from the splice-the-tetri-brace dept.

Thanks to IGN PC for their hands-on preview of Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates, the unique-looking massively multiplayer puzzle RPG from Three Rings Design for Windows and Linux. According to the article, "For anyone who ever wasted hours playing Tetris or Bejeweled, this is the game that takes that style of entertainment to the next level", and the concept of playing puzzle games to win money and buy property in this "quirky persistent state world", currently in open Beta, is discussed enthusiastically - the screenshots on the official site seem about right for those puzzle game freaks looking for a little social contact and eye patches with their puzzlin'.

It's actually in Java 1.4 which is 'getting there' on the Mac. The next version in 10.3 is much better, but still has some issues that we hope will come out in the wash before Christmas. Alas, it's largely out of our (Three Rings') hands. We'd love to have it working on the Mac.
