SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea has developed new software that would allow the same computer game to be played on multiple devices, not just personal computers, a government ministry said Wednesday.

The Ministry of Information and Communication revealed its new software, dubbed the ``Cross-Platform Game Engine,`` which it said provides compatibility among diverse gadgets for electronic games so they can be used on mobile devices and video game consoles.

The software would allow South Korea`s game market to move beyond personal computers as its main platform, and would bring in 150 billion won ($146.1 million) a year in revenue for South Korea, the ministry said in a statement.
