Inspired by HG Wells' visionary Victorian tale, Jeff Wayne's original
double album was released in June 1978 featuring a compelling blend of prog
rock and classical, as well as a spell-binding narration by Richard Burton
and outstanding performances by some of the biggest artists of the 70s,
including David Essex, Justin Hayward, Phil Lynott and Julie Covington. "I've
owned and continue to listen to Jeff Wayne's album since it was first
released, so we approached this project first and foremost as fans,"
explained Chris Howard, CEO of Softeq.

"The original HG Wells story was first published as a series of
adventures for Pearsons Magazine in 1897, so in homage we've created a
serialized, 12-part Minigame Adventure of The War of the Worlds," stated
Terry Marshall, Marketing Manager for zGames. "Each minigame is based on one
of the scenes in Jeff Wayne's Musical Version, and features the music,
sounds, and dialogue from the award-winning musical version."

The story advances as you complete each minigame, starting with the
Prequel puzzle adventure quest, where you learn how the Martians surveyed
Earth. Work your way through different game styles with each episode, from
puzzle to action to arcade games. New minigames will be added every 2-4
weeks.

A second app is also available, Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War
of The Worlds: Augmented Reality, available for $0.99, which allows the
player to invade his own home with Martians and Martian Fighting Machines and
take photos. App available at:
itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-war-the-worlds-augmented/id404152288?mt=8

"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million-to-one, he
said…"
