Rochester, NY -- May 24, 2004 -- Ambrosia Software, Inc. released today pop-pop for Windows, the award-winning game previously only on the Macintosh. A unique fusion of pulse-quickening arcade game action and Internetworkable combat that's more addictive (and more colorful) than a handful of JellyBelly jellybeans. Pick your character, then enter the bright happy world of fierce brick-bashing combat, where your paddle is your weapon, and your pop-fu must be strong to survive.

Why not give it a try for free? You can download it here:

Cool! I hope they will behave

I am looking forward to a lot of new players to compete with. pop-pop is dead, long live pop-pop!

Have a look on the inofficial tourney-system: (url="http://"http://pop-pop.webhop.net")http://pop-pop.webhop.net(/url)

I would play, but I'm stuck on a PC... yes I know it has just been released for Windows, but I don't have admin priviledges on it so I can't install QT. Too bad. I would have liked to defend the honour (honor? never been able to tell) of Mac poppers on a PC...

Wait for someone with admin status to log on and leave without logging off, sneak in and give yourself admin privileges, install, then change your account back to limited to cover your tracks. I do this sort of thing all the time with my AoL account.

So are we currently able to play Windows players from a Mac? The lounge is seeming empty from my computer, but that is probably because it just came out.

Actually, I wonder if there's an admin. I mean, I know one or two teachers have admin powers, but I dunno for anyone else (never seen), and those teachers do not seem much interested in the public Internet computers of the school and do not really administer them, I've seen them log on a few times the whole year, and they paid attention to log off, or I would have done that long ago, beleive me, in order to play Nova.

pepperjack, how many people did you actually expect to have the game installed and ready to play in the Internet in the American morning?

Isn't morning here. I was just wondering if some of my friends would be able to play me now or not.

Just in time for my girlfriend (who has a PC) to move in. Now we can have epic pop-pop battles! Huzzah!

Yeah, but how many are we Europeans? We are nothing! In the American morning, Japs and Aussies are sleeping already, and North-american people have not yet turned their computer on.

By the way, (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum;=pop-pop+FAQs&number;=68&DaysPrune;=20&LastLogin;=#12")one FAQ(/url) needs updating badly. EDIT: Fixed. Thanks for them, Tom.

I posted that in the afternoon, EST. But I am still not seeing a great increase in players. Can anyone tell me if they are seeing Windows players on?

Take a break, it was just released. Once it's announced in other places online and in PeeCee magazines, you can be sure the tracker will start getting flooded.

Oh, one of those PCs. Yeah, I'm on a computer owned by an educational body right now; it severely limits the list of games that I can play. The good news is that I can still play (url="http://"http://www.eternal-lands.com")Eternal Lands(/url) on these networked machines (in fact, I learned about the game from someone else who played it on said PCs), as it comes pre-installed in the .zip file.

When you download win-pop everything seems to go okay until you go into the lounge. It gives you one second then freezes, and you have to restart the computer because there is no way to close out.
