There are a lot more hidden treasures to be discovered on the Titanic, the legendary ship that sank in 1912. Astraware and Big Fish Games bring mobile phone owners the possibility of getting the best of this well-known story, through the release of their new game, "Hidden Expedition: Titanic".

The player has the chance of exploring the wreckage of the RMS Titanic and discover a great number of artifacts and treasures hidden on-board. All collected objects are then displayed at the Titanic Museum, which gives a moral touch to the game, as the player could have also chosen to sell them on the black market and make a ton of money.

There are 14 different missions for the player to complete. It looks like the Crown Jewels have been on board too, as the ultimate prize is that of finding them. The game tries to bring evolved graphics and prove to be a worthy mobile phone adaptation of the best-selling PC game, "Hidden Expedition: Titanic".

"A first in the new category of 'hidden object' games for handhelds, Hidden Expedition: Titanic is sure to be a hit with mobile device users", considers Astraware CEO, Howard Tomlinson. Big Fish Games is also pretty confident on the potential of this game. "We're proud to lead the introduction of hidden-object games to the handheld market with them. We're confident that this is only the tip of the iceberg for us, so to speak", stated Paul Handelman, VP of Business Development for Big Fish Games.

"Hidden Expedition: Titanic" will be available from now on for purchase from the Astroware website at the price of USD 20. The game works on Palm OS devices with high-resolution screens running OS5 and above and for Windows Mobile? smartphones and PDAs running WM2003, 2003SE, 5 and 6.
