Infinium Labs has partnered with Sun Microsystems to offer Java technology-based games as part of its Phantom Gaming Service. Kevin Bachus, president of Infinium Labs, joined Scott McNealy, CEO, Sun Microsystems, to announce the relationship during today's keynote speech at the 2004 JavaOne Conference, being held at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, Monday - Thursday, June 28 - July 1, 2004.
The Phantom Gaming Service is slated to go live Thursday, Nov. 18, 2004. The Phantom Game Receiver will ship with the full Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment and supporting game APIs. All Java technology-based games will be able to run on the Phantom out of the box.
The Phantom Gaming Service will aim to offer subscribers a library of titles, from the top new games to old standards people want to play again and again -- and make them available any time, day or night, from the comfort of their home.
