(Kungälv, Sweden) - October 13, 2004: Games publisher Iridon Interactive has put out a call for brave adventurers to assist Billy Blade in freeing his friend and sidekick, Kong the Monkey, imprisoned in the mythical Time Crystal.
During a recent expedition to the legendary Temple of Time, Kong was trapped inside the crystal, and Billy needs help to solve the riddle of the Temple and free his friend. The mysterious shimmering Crystal of Ages is said by some to be imbued with supernatural powers, a controlling device that can open portals through time.
"Our expedition was going well," says Billy Blade, expert treasure hunter and renowned swordsman, "When suddenly something went wrong, and the next thing I knew, Kong was trapped inside the crystal!"
"When we first heard about Kong's plight," said Iridon CEO Bjorn Larsson, "we knew we had to help. That's why we're helping Billy to find adventurers willing to help tackle to riddle of the Temple of Time."
"My investigations into the crystal so far seem to indicate the rumours are true." continued Billy. "It seems I'll need to travel in time to several places in the past, including Ancient Persia and the Caribbean! It will be hard going, as we'll also need to defeat the Time Guardians before we can save Kong."
Adventurers with a PC wanting to help Billy in his quest to free Kong will be able to help out this winter. Until then, keep an eye on www.billyblade.com for the latest news on the quest to free Kong!
