Hampshire, April 29, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Superscape Group plc, (LSE:SPS), leaders in revolutionary entertainment for mobile phones, announces today that it has a signed a revenue sharing royalty distribution agreement for the company's 3D mobile games titles with a leading US network operator. This is the first distribution contract for Superscape with a network operator and a key element in the process of bringing the company's Swerve-based games to the mass consumer market.
The games will become available during the next three months and will run on mass market handsets from leading manufacturers. Details of the titles will be announced as the games are released but will include many of the high profile games already announced in the Superscape Swerve Library of Games and made available through the company's partnerships with leading global entertainments organisations.
Kevin Roberts, CEO, Superscape Group plc said: "I am very pleased to announce this important contract win which will, for the first time, open up mass market revenue streams for Superscape. We are in advanced negotiations with other leading global network operators and I am confident we will be making further announcements of this nature over the course of the next few months."
Under the terms of the contract with this network operator, Superscape will enjoy the majority of the revenue-sharing royalties based on consumer demand for the titles.
Roberts commented: "Reaction to our Swerve-developed portfolio of games has been very encouraging from leading global operators and major handset manufacturers, including Siemens, Motorola and Samsung all of whom are embedding Swerve games on their handsets.
"Superscape's 'four corners strategy' is really starting to pay off as our hard work with technology companies, handset manufacturers, major entertainment companies and operators, combined with our critical work on the JSR 184 standard, comes to fruition. Superscape is in a very strong first-to-market position with revolutionary new entertainment for mobile phones."
