SEATTLE, WA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- MnMStudio, an online entertainment company, today announced the release of the highly-anticipated online game Chronic 2005 (www.Chronic2005.com). Currently ranked in the Top 10 "Most Popular Simulation Games" on CNET's Download.com, Chronic 2005 is pushing the limits in online adventure gaming.

"We wanted to take online gaming to a new level and allow people to experience an exciting journey into the seedy underbelly of society," said Michael Dixon, lead developer of Chronic 2005. "In the real world crime does not pay, with Chronic 2005 we decided it should! We're offering prizes such as Xbox 360 and even cash to the best dealers based on scores submitted online."

Chronic 2005 is an open ended adventure allowing you to play as one of four distinct characters, each with their own special skills and abilities. With $2,000 in cash and $5,000 in debt to the loan shark, your journey begins at the Los Angeles airport as you explore the neighboring cities in search of the best suppliers and buyers. Upgrading your guns, armor, hiring thugs and staying ahead of the cops soon becomes the way of life.

"Pimpin' aint easy, but if you want to get to the top, visiting the car dealership and buying a van to transport all the Chronic Girls will make you some fast cash," said DMC, writer and producer of the "Chronic 2005 Anthem" title track.

The free version of the game allows you to experience up to 31 days of the adventure. A Premium Membership account that allows you to play as long as 120 days and hire mercenaries, drivers, bodyguards and pimps is available for as little as $2.49 per month.

Chronic 2005, a highly popular yet controversial game, has been met with open arms by the online gaming community with over 250,000 games being played world-wide.

Chronic 2005 is available for the PC as a free download on the game's website http://www.Chronic2005.com.

This game has not been rated. Chronic 2005 contains drug references, strong language, violence and use of drugs.
