Hi folks,

Sure - we’ve got a cult hit on XBLA now, but do we stop there? No sirree!

We’ve just confirmed the date of the PC/Steam release of Madballs in…Babo:Invasion. The official press release will go out in the next few days — but just between you and me, Madballs will be released on PC/Steam on Sept 17th, 2009!

And to celebrate, we’re releasing a free MiBI Screen Saver for your PC ! You’ll find it at the bottom of the More Stuff page on our website. Note: There are two versions of the screensaver - one for 4:3 displays (the 1280 x 1024 version) and one for 16:9 widescreen displays (the 1280 x 720 version).

Uh-oh...

To install the screensaver:

1. Download the appropriate screen saver for your display type (they’re both the same - but there might be a white border outside of the pinstripe border on your machine if you choose the wrong one)
2. Unzip the contents of the .zip file to a temporary directly (if you use a zip viewer, you *can* just launch the enclosed .exe directly - it’s a setup program)
3. Run the MiBI_Screensaver executable to install the screen saver — just follow the instructions. The install automatically makes Madballs your active screensaver.

To preview it:

1. Right-click on your desktop, and select Properties.
2. Select the Screen Saver tab, and then press [Preview].
3. Enjoy! [Note - the preview cancels if you move the mouse].

Note - If you ever need to un-install the screen saver (sniff!), you can go to Control Panels | Add or Remove Programs, choose MiBI_ScreenSaver and then click [Remove].

Hope you like the screen saver folks - and we hope to see you playing Madballs on your PC on Sept 17th!

Paul.
