Reviewers and Astraware customers alike have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the high-resolution version of Insaniquarium.

"This game runs perfectly and takes full advantage of the hi-res+ screen, and is as immensely playable as ever!" said Shaun McGill of CliePlanet.

Insaniquarium is a conversion of the original Web-based game developed by PopCap which enables players to become aquarium owners and buy and raise a selection of fish. The maintenance of an aquarium seems like a rather innocuous task, but not only do players have to ensure that their fish are well fed, they also have to fight off nasty aliens with the help of an entire assortment of underwater creatures. In order to succeed at this game, players must also be able to afford" to maintain the aquarium by collecting valuable coins dropped by their fish.

Both versions of Insaniquarium are available now, and are priced US$14.95 on Astrawares Web site, www.astraware.com. Owners of the original Palm OS(r) version of the game can download a free upgrade.
