NBC Sports Figure Skating is a mobile game developed by Ziggurat Interactive and published by Abandon Mobile in 2006. This game, which was released for both Verizon Wireless and Cingular Wireless cell phones, involves making a figure skater execute moves by carefully timing the correct keypresses against a series of numbers, each associated with a particular maneuver, as the numerals scrolled along the bottom of the screen.
Gameplay
The goal is to execute skating moves in the correct time and sequence, and earn the highest score for your event. Each skating move has a series of button presses and timing cues. For each button press in the move you are currently performing, a picture of a number from 1 to 6, randomly chosen by the game, will move across the bottom of the screen to a target zone at the center. You must push the button corresponding to its image as soon as it reaches the target zone to pull off each part of the move perfectly. However, even the world's best figure skaters slip up sometimes, and if you miss a button completely while executing a move, you will fall and receive no points for that move.
Marketing
During the 2006 Winter Olympics, NBC Sports Figure Skating became the first mobile game to be promoted on television when a banner inviting viewers to download the game appeared during NBC's broadcast of the figure skating event at 8:41pm EST on February 13.
