News > Location-based Plundr on the DS
June 5, 2007
Developer area/code has a very unique, and what looks to be awesome idea in the form of their location-based PC game, Plundr. Their website describes the game as follows:
"Plundr is the world's first location-based PC game. Using state-of-the-art Wi-Fi Positioning System technologies (WPS), the game locates the user's computer in physical space and uses their location as part of the game.
The game itself is a pirate adventure, in which players move from island to island to buy, sell and fight for goods. Depending on where you are in the physical world, you'll find different islands, different market prices and different ships to fight."
As of this posting, the "play now" link is busted, but some images of the game ON THE DS are available here, here, and here. With the portability of the DS, this game's premise of exploration will be taken to the next level, and I can tell you now that I most certainly would like to check this one out.
