This new version includes awesome new features and technology, representing all we've come to expect from our favorite fruit company. We here at Freeverse have been focusing on creating fantastic mobile games like Fantastic Fish, Skee-Ball and Flick Fishing. Of course with said focus on mobile games, some of our Mac titles have not gotten the attention that we would have liked to provide them. Rather than leaving our customers with a sub-par experience running certain titles under OS X Lion, and in light of phasing out our GameSmith service later this summer, we've made the hard decision to discontinue the following titles: Airburst [Edit 7/26] Big Bang Board Games Burning Monkey Casino Burning Monkey Mahjong Burning Monkey Puzzle Lab Burning Monkey Solitaire Enigma Periscope Squabble ToySight 3D Bridge 3D Crazy 8s Euchre Deluxe Hearts Deluxe Pitch-Setback Spades Deluxe CrossCards X-Words Deluxe We will continue to provide support for these titles running on versions of OS X prior to 10.7 Lion. Please stay tuned to our site at freeverse.com, we've got some great titles on the way that we think you'll love.
