Totmob has announced the release of the Plekos mobile game. The game, which is available for iOS and Android tablet devices and smart phones with larger screens, was launched on iTunes and Google Play earlier today.
Plekos is a carefully crafted replica of a very traditional soccer game. The original game is made out of a shallow wooden tray, with nails representing players. There are spaces cut out for the goals and the ball is usually a coin, or a bottle cap. In this mobile version the user can play against the machine, or against a friend on the same device. The game can also set up a championship for up to eight people on one device. To see a quick video of the game, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watc...
AR: True soccer fans don’t just watch. They play. Thing is, there isn’t always the space to show off skills. Miniature soccer sometimes solves the issue.
And no, I am not talking about Foosball. No. I am talking about the cheap, homemade variant of table-top soccer that creates hometown legends: Coin Soccer. Yes, I have very fond memories of hours burned perfecting my skills. Don’t judge me; back then, the internet was barely a gleam in Al Gore’s eye, and it was hard to watch cable TV without, well, a TV. We all had plenty of time to burn.
