Tap Into the Hidden Power of Your iPod That Makes These Games Possible

When you start playing one of our iPod games you're transported to another world. Run for your life from a hellish nightmare, crack the case and solve a murder mystery or become a hero in an exotic world of fantasy while commuting to work, sitting on the beach or on an airplane; you can enjoy our iPod games anywhere you can use your iPod.

Like never before, Malinche transforms the gaming experience with interactive fiction that will boggle your mind. The novel of the future is here and it's time for you to get on the bus and join the hottest trend in the iPod world today.

Load one of our games on your iPod, iPod Mini, Nano or Video iPod and start your adventure with your favorite music playing in the background.  That wasn't a typo; your iPod can play all of your favorite music while you immerse yourself in one of our legendary adventures. Music adds an extra dimension to an already incredible experience.

Zork Versus Pac-Man... Who Will Be the Victor?

You will.  Because we deliver classic text adventure games rendered in the Infocom Zork tradition just as Apple delivers classy graphical games such as Pac-Man.

Both of these kinds of games are timeless classics and they all deserve a spot on your iPod.  Buy Malinche's iPod games and then Apple's new iPod games and you win big by loading your iPod with the best entertainment on the planet. We're talking the best of both worlds here.

If you own an "old" iPod then you can breathe easy -- our iPod games work on ANY Standard iPod or iPod Nano from 2nd generation on.  Just so you know, Apple's new iPod games only work on the newest 5th generation iPods and NO Nanos. When it comes to iPod Games, Malinche leaves almost nobody behind.

Explore the Ingenious Breakthrough that Rocked Two Worlds in One Stroke.

"With hundreds of areas to explore on my iPod and a myriad of possibilities in Malinche's iPod games, I'm now addicted!" - Jack van Landingham, Hollywood actor

In a feat of ground-breaking engineering, the relentless engineering brains at Malinche followed through on a mandate by the company president himself to port Malinche's entire game library to the iPod. They cracked the code and created a whole new species of iPod games in the process.

Our iPod Games are the fusion of bestselling fiction books and technology; the result is a dazzling adventure every time you load one of our games on your iPod. Imagine the adventures waiting for you --  where almost anything is possible and everything you can do is worth a try.  Going way beyond books or e-books, our iPod games can surprise you every time you play. That's the power of interactive fiction.

Interactive fiction is a book you play or a game you read. And as the world's only publisher of interactive fiction, nobody delivers a better game experience than Malinche.

Exploiting a little-known feature you'll find in every iPod, the Malinche Team created cutting edge technology in-house that translated several of Malinche's interactive fiction titles to the iPod. This stunning development sent shockwaves throughout the iPod world forcing everybody to sit up and pay attention while dealing a devastating blow to the entire book publishing industry in the process.

For years, all the big boys at the major publishing houses in New York have struggled with tapping into the new digital age. Nobody figured out how to put bestseller material on an iPod...until now.

Malinche, a comparatively tiny company in New Jersey, beat them to it and and made the crucial breakthrough with the iPod. At the end of the day, all those stuffed-suit big city executives went bonkers when they realized they were beaten by an itty-bitty company across the river. Think of those fat cat executives going Looney-toons and you get the picture. 

Even Apple is forced to  take a backseat to Malinche in the iPod games department; we released iPod games waaaaaay before they did.

No one should think less of Apple, though.  They must be forgiven for coming late to the party; they were busy creating the very best technology on the planet.  The amazing minds over at Apple were understandably distracted. Speaking of Apple...

Apple Itself Has Given Our iPod Games the Nod - Two of our Three iPod Games Have Been Featured as the "Hottest and the Newest" on Apple.Com

When we told Apple about our new iPod games, it's clear they were glad to see their world-changing creation used in a whole new way. Greystone and The First Mile have both been featured products in Apple's Product Guide. That's because it's almost too easy to download an iPod game in a few nano seconds and enjoy that game for hours on end. Whip out your iPod whenever you have a few minutes, click a few times and you're enjoying incredible interactive fiction.  When it's time to stop...no problem. Just put away your iPod and resume the game whenever you want.

What could be easier? Do you really want to carry a book around with you all day and hope you get a little time to read it? You're already carrying around an iPod.  Just load your next book along with your favorite tunes and you're on your way.

"For the iPod user in your house, Howard's games make a great gift and add a feature to the iPod that Apple did not even realize was possible." - Tim Jackson, The Ontario Record

Pick-Your-Own Ending Books - Supercharged

Our iPod games are so well written you'd swear you were reading a best-selling novel.

"One of the neat things about these games is the way you're sitting there reading and thinking in a different sort of way." - Jeremy Kaplan, Digital Life Magazine

Now imagine that you have a full range of choices. In every location. Every time. You're not flipping through some pages with just a couple of choices; you're constantly engaged in the story and the myriad of decisions you can make at every single turn. You have more freedom in our interactive iPod games than you ever dreamed possible.

There's No Time to Lose

Experts in the game industry and the fiction book publishing world think we're crazy to give away these iPod games for just $9.95 a piece.

Nobody thinks we can keep our prices this low too much longer.  That's why you need to hurry...

The Chairman & CEO of Malinche has been toying with the idea of raising the prices on our iPod games for a couple of weeks now. The big boss man can decide to go ahead and raise prices next month, next week or even tomorrow so you don't have much time.

Don't be surprised if the prices for our iPod games goes up by as much as 50%. And once that happens, the jaw-dropping low price of $9.95 we're asking now is history.

If you think we're bluffing about raising the prices of our iPod games then guess again; on Saturday, October 21st Malinche's CEO ordered a 20% price increase on every other game in our catalog.

So, please, order now. You risk nothing... and yet stand to gain hours of entertainment value.

Remember - Every iPod Game comes with a 60 day 100% money back guarantee. There's no way to lose.

Please note: Our iPod games are not compatible with the forthcoming iPod Touch.

Like most horror stories, things start out simply enough. You're driving cross country to relocate to a new job. Your gas tank is almost empty and your stomach is too. Fortunately, an exit off the interstate comes up right there so you turn off to fill your car and your grumbling stomach.

Just as you pull up to the gas station on the outskirts of town, a crazed man shoots the gas attendant dead. At point-blank range. With a shotgun. Then he turns the shotgun towards your car and takes aim at you! Your heart stops as he pulls the trigger! The roar of the shotgun and the tinkling smashing glass fills the air. Luckily, you ducked first. Your unknown nemesis raises the powerful weapon right at you, through the windshield and all.  He pulls the trigger but nothing happens. Fiddling with the weapon doesn't help. The bedraggled killer glares at you before he runs off. 

What happens next? Only you can decide.  The First Mile is a work of Interactive Fiction where anything is possible and  everything is worth a try.   You are the main character in this horror story and every move you make will either lead to your escape....or your death.

"The First Mile is horror fiction, perhaps something torn out of Stephen King’s notebook. As soon as the game begins, my heart thumps harder with each move I make as I encounter a body, hear a hellhound growling, and see many empty buildings and homes." - Meryl Evans, Renowned Writer.

Meet The First Mile's designer next month at HorrorFind!
