If you have ever played Pandemic, then you know how much fun it can be sitting around a table, curing diseases, and stopping outbreaks from occurring. Sometimes you don’t have the time to get a bunch of people together to play at the same time. However, digital recreations of board games have been highly successful. While most of these board game adaptations have come from Playdek, F2Z Digital Media is a new developer and their first game will be Pandemic.
Z-Man Games, the publisher of award-winning board and card games (Pandemic, Carcassonne, Agricola), is proud to announce the creation of F2Z Digital Media Inc. that will develop and launch digital versions of board games! Since its creation in 1999, Z-Man Games has developed a strong expertize in the board game market and has decided to go digital in order to allow more players to discover its passion for board games.
F2Z Digital Media Inc. is an entirely independent company from Z-Man Games. It has its own dedicated team, creating quality digital versions of games developed by Z-Man Games, as well as titles from its partners.
I must say that I’m really looking forward to Pandemic coming out for the iPad, and they are promising that expansions will come out as well. We’ll be finding out what their release schedule is soon.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV.
