Win a Pocket PC Laser Keyboard in New Spb AirIslands Contest

Win a Pocket PC Laser Keyboard in New Spb AirIslands Contest

Spb Software House is launching a new Spb AirIslands contest. We (Spb Software not Aximsite) will have a random drawing from among the 10 gamers who complete their islands in the best time. The drawing winner will receive a cool Pocket PC gadget - a Virtual Laser Keyboard. You can post your results until Feb 14th.

Spb AirIsland is a brand new Pocket PC game. The game was released less than one week ago and is based upon an innovative concept in gameplay. In the short period since its release Spb AirIslands has attracted more than 10,000 gamers from all over the world and continues to receive very favorable reviews. "I’m willing to call it the most entertaining original game for Windows Mobile that I’ve played so far." - said Nate Hanson, pdaBuzz.com. All contest participants and non-participants alike are encouraged to visit the Spb AirIslands website. There, you can join the community and download a new Spb AirIslands wallpaper for your desktop PC.

About Spb AirIslands

Spb AirIslands is the first Pocket PC game featuring all the benefits of a powerful PC strategy game, yet designed for play on the Pocket PC platform. As people say: "They’ve mixed a bit of fantasy with a town sim game, added a few fast paced mini games, connected it to other players on the web and turned out something totally new and refreshing." Its "four-games-in-one" concept was heartily met by Pocket PC community. In just a very short period of time, Spb AirIslands has become a widely discussed and popular newcomer in the mobile world. Now Spb Software House launches a contest for all Spb AirIsland gamers.

Terms & Conditions
  • The contest will last until February 14, 2005.
  • Everyone who owns a registered copy of Spb AirIslands and has posted his or her island info to the Spb AirIslands site will be automatically entered into the contest. To post your game scores, use Pocket Highscores 2.0.
  • Each participant can enter as often as he or she wants but only the best result will be used for this contest.

Good game but SO very long the 1st time. I'm still playing my 1st attempt. Got to get the final (5th) bit of the tower built & all done! Overall nice graphics, the in-games to detract sometimes from the main game. Would personally have liked more of a gods game as the options are quited limited (ie Happines, Economy & Pollution).

How do I get more people living in 1 house? How come buildings/trees don't fit in spaces where they should realistically be able to - had to destroy a number of things to fit in a tree or a water tank!

In this turn I have had to demolish ALL my forests of trees to put the more expensive types (inc's happiness), had to destroy my shed.

I'm on Day 55 - very poor I know but I am still learning. Realise now that houses & sheds close by are good, plus windmills really good! Lake is essential!

But now getting boring as I know the final outcome will be a win for myself but can I sit thro' more hours of repairs, playing the in-games to increase my bricks, water or wood???

Bring back the old GOD games :-)

I just purchased the game. It's really nice. It not only gives you the rpg of air island, but you also get accompaning games w/ it and those you use to get the material you need to keep playing the air island rpg. It's like getting 5 games in one. I'm preparing for exams right now, i think i made a mistake by purchasing it now, but i can't wait till my exams are over so that i can fully play it. I recommend it only b/c i'm not too much into speding money for programs etc. but once i found out that it's not just one game but others included, and that they intertwine, so that you kinda play the other games to help you out playing the main game it was fantastic.

ps. and also the chance to win the keyboard made me decide quickly. :)

Does that mean that Air Island and the other games are integrated?

Yes. Playing the mini-games you earn resources you can use to build buildings in the island game.

You can download and try the free trial version:

I finally finished an island in 22 days :). One person has done it in 13 days - unreal. This is a great game. The other games included with it are good, too. I give it :approve: :approve:

Finished the game in 12 days on my 3rd attempt. It is far too easy. 1st attempt took over 50days, 2nd was around 22days & now less than 12days!

The game itself is far too basic & too easy. Needs a much broader "god" type AI interface of some sort. Highest money earned for me in 1 day was 32k gold. I have heard of some people who have claimed to have got 25k+ within the 1st 6 days - this seems nr impossible as you haven't got enough resources available to bung in the windmills

Biggest hint is destroy regularly, but make sure not to kill your people!

i was expecting more... like those arrows next to the lower toolbar that "looks" like unlock access to more buildings etc. but it doesnt. that was a dissappointment, it seems like some things were left out purposely for whatever reason.

and the ending!!!! what an excitement! i spent a whole week and $20 and i dont see it in action?? what a waste...
