Space HoRSE Now Available As A Download

A horse is a horse of course, of course, unless the horse is an intergalactic Space HoRSE. In which case it's really a Holistic Robotic Slave Engineer, and not a true horse, which is good because you really don't want to have horse poop floating around in zero-g, now do you? Regardless of your stance on outer space horse dung Shrapnel Games announces that consumers can now download their own Space HoRSE at the Gamers Front.

Yes, now gamers have the option to purchase Gilligames' Space HoRSE either as an immediate download, or as a physical copy in a DVD safebox. It's four in the morning and you have a burning thirst for Space HoRSE, a thirst that can't be satisfied in four to seven working days? Quench it with the download. Maybe you like a physical package so you can add it to your game shelf? Order Space HoRSE in the DVD case, and remember, Shrapnel ships all over the world. You can choose either option by visiting the Gamers Front at: www.gamersfront.com/xcart/home.php

Space HoRSE is a homage to the classic game M.U.L.E., one of the first games on the home computer to not only be primarily played as a multiplayer game (with up to four players competing on a single Atari 800 system), but it was also one of the first whose gameplay was non-violent in nature. Space HoRSE allows gamers who missed out on this wonderful game to experience it on today's computers.

Like the game that inspired it, Space HoRSE is a fast moving game of space colonization with the help of a trusty Space HoRSE. Up to four players can play, and just like the original the four can even play on the same computer. Wanting to play with a group but don't want your gaming crew crowded around your desk (gamer sweat and the odor of stale Cheetos is just not a good combination)? Space HoRSE supports online play, and with the downloadable matchmaking program, meeting opponents in cyberspace is a snap.

Gameplay is easy to pick-up, with a low learning curve that anyone can master, though learning the game and learning how to win are two different matters. The AI provides a challenge for players of all skill levels, but for the ultimate challenge play against three of your fellow carbon-based lifeforms. A typical game is short enough to be enjoyed during a break, and over forty-five random events means each game can be unique.
