This allows anyone to play the backgammon game right away, without any installation - and it is all for free!

(PRWeb) November 29, 2006 -- Play65 (http://www.play65.com)™, the world's biggest online backgammon room, has launched a free Java backgammon (http://java.atlanticpayments.com/?did=14900&tag1=120&tag2=200)version of their very popular game platform.

The Java version of Play65™'s backgammon software (http://www.play65.us) is free of charge and allows avid players to play their favorite game immediately, as no installation is required.

Thanks to this, "playing backgammon is just one click away" - whether you have a PC, Mac or Pocket PC, no matter if you are using Windows, Linux or Mac OS.

Asked for the reasoning behind the Java version release, Caroline Tholman, Play65™'s Promotions Coordinator, answered: "Following the buzz around Play65™'s backgammon platform and the fact that it did not have a Mac or Linux compatible version until now, we have decided to create a Java version so that any online backgammon player -- including Mac and Linux users -- can enjoy."

Considering the popularity of Play65™'s backgammon software in its original version, the Java version release was, without a doubt, a wise thing to do. As Tholman said, "We felt it was a 'must', since being an integral part of the advanced gaming industry, we owe it to the backgammon players' online community, as well as to ourselves."

Play65™ is currently amongst the leading websites for online backgammon and it attracts thousands of backgammon players (http://www.play65.com/Tournaments.html)from all around the world. The full download version of the game offers a wide range of backgammon games and tournaments, such as playing backgammon for free (http://www.play65.com/Backgammon.html)or real money, and it comes in 17 different languages (more languages will be added very soon).
