You might think that Everquest or World of Warcraft are the most popular online games. Well, they could be in their category, but the much simpler flash or java based internet games attract millions of secretaries and managers in order to utilize their empty minutes for throwing penguins, or playing online Snooker.

Online Snooker, as during the first four days of the Snooker World Championship in Sheffield 98 600 players have registered on the www.flyordie.com website, in order to play one of the best online Snooker game. Thus the Hungarian game developer has recorded the 4 millionth registration recently. A significant part of the new players have come from the Eurosport sports portal, where the direct links of the game are available. The collaboration of Eurosport and FlyOrDie has started many years ago, the sports channel has chosen to publish the game mainly in order to popularise their snooker coverage.

"It has been very essential for Eurosport to emphasize the dynamism of the channel on the Internet as well. That is why we decided – in accordance with the frequent snooker coverage and especially the World Championships – to publish the 3D Snooker game developed by Solware on Eurosport.com. Being one of the most chiselled online snooker game, it brings the feeling of the coverage even closer to our audience.

"After three years of collaboration with Solware, we can conclude that the games can attract those players to watch the live Snooker action in television as well, who have visited the website looking for something else."- said Laurent Gayout of Eurosport.com
