Merscom and SHOWTIME Team Up for
Casual Game Based on The Tudors
Family Friendly Game Based on Hit TV
Series THE TUDORS
Merscom announced today it has
teamed up with Showtime Networks, Inc. to create a casual game based on the
award winning drama series THE TUDORS
THE TUDORS television show presents
the rarely dramatized, tumultuous early years of King Henry VIII’s nearly 40
year, omnipotent reign (1509-1547). In addition to his famous female consorts,
20+ years of marriage to Catherine of Aragon and infamous dalliance with Anne
Boleyn, the series delves into Henry’s most notable political relationship and
the deconstruction of the Roman Catholic Church in England.
In this casual adventure/hidden
object game, players will enter the world of THE TUDORS and solve a mystery that
that runs parallel to the show.
THE TUDORS is a property that will
really appeal to our market,~ stated Lloyd Melnick, Chief Customer Officer at
Merscom, ~Not only does the story arc appeal to the casual gamer, but the rich
and beautiful graphical environment lends itself to an adventure game.~
