'''ijji''' is the North American English version of Hangame, hosted in California, for several Korean developed games (see list for such). It allows registered players to download and play their games via Internet Explorer and their website (probably to aid in anti-hacking, common with GunBound) for free; although in game benefits are available for players who purchase G coins with real money. G coins can then be converted into in game currency (such as cash in GunBound).
