Hasbro Interactive Games on the MSN Gaming Zone

Hasbro Interactive Games on the MSN Gaming Zone is the story today, and it is the kind of late-April 1999 news blast that makes the pre-E3 season feel like someone kicked the hornet nest. Microsoft today revealed that Parker Brothers Classic Card Games and Milton Bradley Classic Board Games, both by Hasbro Interactive, are now available for free multiplayer matchmaking on the MSN Gaming Zone. Parker Brothers Classic Card Games is a collection of childhood favorites including Mille Bornes, RACKO, Rook, Free Parking, and Gin Rummy. They’ve also included traditional classics like Hearts, Spades, and Cribbage, capturing the spirit of the original gameplay with rich graphics and animation. With no cards to lose, the ability to save games in play, and multiplayer capabilities, the collection provides hours of fun for the entire family.

Bottom line: if this is your kind of game, start watching the download pages and store shelves. April has been stupidly busy, and this one just joined the pile.
