SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Remember how easy it was to spend a roll of quarters on arcade games? Soon, some online gamers will be able to similarly play "Bejeweled" or "Zuma" at 25 cents a pop.
WildTangent Inc. introduced on Wednesday its "WildCoins" currency system for online game play. The Redmond, Wash.-based company will use the new micropayment method for its own WildGames.com gaming site; PopCap, HipSoft and other sites that also specialize in casual online games have signed up, too.
Instead of paying, say, $20 to WildGames, to download and own one of its games, users could just drop in and play the game online, using a 25-cent WildCoin.
