Dale City, Va. - February 16, 2006 - Alawar Entertainment, a leading publisher of casual games for the PC, is offering visitors to its website free access to the online versions of five of its most popular games. The new online games page allows fans to enjoy Arctic Quest, Bistro Stars, the original Magic Ball and two releases starring Snowy the Bear without downloading or installing any game software. Just click a title to begin playing after a brief loading period. (You might need to obtain the latest version of Flash or Shockwave.)

The online versions of Alawar's games contain all of the eye candy seen in their downloadable counterparts. The frozen tundra of Arctic Quest, Alawar's acclaimed inlay adventure, can be viewed in all its visual splendor. Bistro Stars, a mouthwatering matching game, comes with all the graphical trimmings. You can bust bricks in full 3D when you choose the original Magic Ball. And Snowy has lost none of his animated charm in his leap to the Web.

Each online game features several levels from the full game. Unlike the downloadable free trial versions, however, no time limits are imposed. Guests and other people who use the same computer can play the online games as much as they wish. Visitors can also purchase the full downloadable version of each title for $19.95 apiece.
