SELLING POINTS

Proven Track Record.  This is the brand new version of the World Famous WarBirds TotalSims series of games that have sold over 1 million retail games and deemed the �top of the online flight-simming pyramid�1 and several time winner of �simulation of the year� awards.

Single-player Action Combat.  The Player is thrown right into the action with multiple geographical terrains, multiple mission types, and over 100 aircraft to fly and battle with. No looking for a battle for the player. WarBirds brings the battle right to the player as soon as he takes off.

Complete Training Available.  For new players, WarBirds provide short introductory training at game start and over 20 training missions in the Training Tab of the game simulation. And if the player wants a live instructor pilot to join him in his aircraft, he can come online and get live training using the FREE Teamspeak voice over IP system online.

Multiple Skill Levels for Beginners to Experts.  Enjoy WarBirds as an arcade game or as a simulation. The arcade level is Rookie, which eliminates the spinning of aircraft, the blackouts and red outs, and gives the player big guns and a hardened aircraft with unlimited ammo. The player can move on to the Veteran level which has the settings, the ammo, the toughness of the online WarBirds game for a veteran flight sim player. In the Ace mode, the player had better be a great flier as any shots on his aircraft will bring him down. He has to out fly, out maneuver, and out shoot his enemies. Each level moves the player more and more to the ultimate simulation of real tank combat during World War II.

IENT Owns a Revolutionary Patent to Make Online Gaming Much Faster. Which is a Must for Today's Demanding Games. "The Company is the holder of United States Patent no. 6,042,477 - a method of and system for minimizing the effects of time latency...on interconnected computers."

Huge Companies Try to Claim IEntertainment's Patent.

"Another recent patent lawsuit was brought by iEntertainment Network against Epic Games, Atari, Valve Corporation, Sierra, Sony Online Entertainment and various Sony offices. As reported by Gamasutra, the suit was in connection with use of a method relating to "…latency in online games. The original patent, which seems to have been filed in 1996 by Dale Addink while working on early online flight sim title Warbirds, revolves around 'minimizing the effects of time latency in multiplayer electronic games played on interconnected computers' by including 'time dependent attribute information' in the packets. Patent owner iEntertainment, which was founded by Microprose co-founder JW 'Wild Bill' Stealey, demanded unspecified damages regarding the patent." This litigation was ultimately settled."
