Tringo, the engaging cross between Tetris and bingo that was originally developed in the virtual world of Second Life, has come full circle, and will celebrate its launch as a PC download today with a virtual launch event in SL. Created by SL resident Kermitt Quirk (aka Australia resident Nathan Kier) over his Christmas vacation in 2004, Tringo quickly spread like wildfire across the SL grid and became yet another thing that was going to “kill SL“. Instead, it was picked up by a real-world game developer and launched for the Game Boy Advance later that year. Now Australian casual games portal Two Way Ltd. is launching it as a US$20 PC download, and celebrating the same in SL with a launch event on »way2play island« at 1:00am SL Time tonight (late on March 1 / early on March 2) due to the Australian launch being scheduled for 7:00pm Sydney time. Another tidbit from the press release: Tringo 2.0 is apparently on the way.
