by Rainier on March 22, 2007 @ 5:30 a.m. PDT

Hot Dog King, also known as HotDogs HotGals, is a fast-paced strategy simulation with a fresh approach to fast food. You will set out to dominate the fast food industry city by city, using talented staff members in each franchise as your secret weapon to lure customers away from the competition.

Play in your own style – start and develop your business using superior marketing techniques and great food, or build your empire quickly by employing the mob and using shady tactics against your competition.

Can you become the Hot Dog King, or will you be just another wiener?

“After tirelessly screening for the most beautiful franchise staff around the world we’re really excited that gamers will finally get their hands all over Hot Dog King, a fun and enticing tycoon game for the North American market.” says Sonny Lu, CEO of Fuzzyeyes Studio.

“We are thrilled that Hot Dog King (HDK) has gone Gold and will soon be available to gamers. We’ve enjoyed playing the game and have built up virtual fast food empires for bragging rights around the office.” said Steve Milburn, Marketing Director at Meridian4, “HDK is a fun, twist on the tycoon genre and can be played by all gamers looking for a challenge… oh, and the girls in the game aren’t bad either.”

These women are your front-line troops in this corporate war and will be making all the difference, they are the ones who not only prepare and serve the food but also give the bright smiles, sway the hips, and show skin that will either make or break a business. These women hold no illusions about the seedy nature of the industry or what their job exactly entails, and they are willing to do just that. However they will also hold little reluctance to leave a business in their wake if they find no reason to stay, you will have to treat them with the utmost priority.
