EDISON,
N.J., March 13, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Build and
decorate your dream home in Our House, a new simulation
for Nintendo DS(TM) announced today by Majesco
Entertainment Company (NASDAQ:COOL) , an innovative
provider of video games for the mass market. Developed
by Majesco Studios Santa Monica, Our House puts players
in the contractor's shoes, challenging them to manage
work-for-hire jobs and then use those earnings to create
their own custom residence. A companion title to the
previously announced Wii(TM) version, Our House for DS
is due in stores this holiday season.
"We are incredibly excited about the Our House franchise
and this extension of it. Both DS and Wii versions
leverage the innovative controls of each system to
create fun, addictive games with a perennially popular
theme," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer,
Majesco. "We are particularly proud that this is among
the first titles to be developed by Majesco Studios
whose core focus is on creating unique IP and technology
with a mass market appeal."
"The central building mechanic of Our House is a perfect
fit for the Touch Screen since the stylus functions as a
universal improvement tool," said Bill Petro, Vice
President of Internal Development and Studio Head for
Majesco Studios Santa Monica. "This unique,
do-it-yourself concept lets players become architect,
builder, interior designer and home-owner
simultaneously."
Our House allows players to design, build, remodel and
decorate a wide selection of homes using the DS stylus
as the ultimate building tool. Lay flooring, hang
cabinets, strip wallpaper, arrange furniture and much
more using the intuitive Touch Screen in 100 different
mini-games.
Players choose contractor assignments from the Job Board
then renovate kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms and
bedrooms for eccentric homeowners with varying tastes in
decor. Gamers can also drop by the local home
improvement store and spend their earnings on additional
tools and furnishings, including new appliances and
accessories, to boost the value of their own residence
and upgrade houses throughout the game.
Our House for DS is expected to ship this holiday. For

relaunched www.majescoentertainment.com.
