MEDIA ALERT: REALARCADE LAUNCHES "LITTLE SHOP BIG CITY" ON REALARCADE.COM AND GAMEHOUSE.COM

Top-selling casual games franchise returns for third round of hidden object fun

SEATTLE — December 6, 2007

WHAT
RealNetworks' RealArcade® Games Division is announcing the availability of "Little Shop Big City", a new seek-and-find casual game published by RealArcade and developed by Real's Seattle-based casual games studio, GameHouse.

This third installment follows the original "Little Shop of Treasures", GameHouse's top selling game this year, and "Little Shop of Treasures 2", a GameHouse top 10 title since its release in late September. "Little Shop Big City" challenges casual gamers to turn their little shop into big city success in a variety of metropolitan venues. Each new destination is a vivid scene of cleverly hidden objects that players must uncover in order to advance and renovate a run-down theater into a profitable new shop.

Casual games are simple to learn but difficult to master. Fans of casual games enjoy the quick-play format that fits easily into busy schedules, providing a method to relax, recharge, or simply pass the time with an entertaining challenge. RealArcade strives to incorporate simple game play, intriguing challenges, interesting story lines and visually stunning graphics into each new game.
