3D Java Mobile Games From Superscape Featured in Intel Stand at 3GSM Cannes

HAMPSHIRE, England, February 10/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --


Intel
L18 Hall 4
3GSM Cannes
14-17th February 2005




Superscape Group plc (LSE: SPS), the world's leading publisher of 3D
mobile games, announces that a number of its 3D games, running on the
Motorola E680 and A780, will be featured in the Intel booth at this year's
3GSM Congress to be held in Cannes from 14-17th February.



Gary Forni, Director, Software Vendor Enabling, Intel Cellular & Handheld
Group said: "We are delighted to feature Superscape's revolutionary 3D mobile
games in our booth. The company's games provide an excellent showcase for the
performance gains achieved through the optimization of the Superscape Swerve
Client for Intel XScale(R) Microarchitecture with Intel(R) Wireless MMX(TM)
Technology."



The games on show include:



3D Evel Knievel, licensed by Global Wireless Entertainment, allows
players to control Evel Knievel as he rides through a series of obstacles and
jumps, gaining points as he progresses. Various levels are included in the
game which takes Evel over ramps made of cars, buses, trucks and fountains.
Players need to use considerable skill to control the speed and balance of
Evel as they move towards the 'Main Event' which includes the Vegas Fountain
jump, the 13 Mack Truck jump and a stadium packed with fourteen Greyhound
buses in King's Island.



AMF Xtreme Bowling, licensed by Vir2L, allows players to compete in a
variety of venues ranging from the classic wood lanes to the neon-flashing
Xtreme lanes available around the world at AMF Bowling emporiums. Players
compete to get the highest score against friends or the AI (artificial
intelligence) players.



Fight Club, licensed from 20th Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising,
is based the highly successful movie released in 1999 starring Brad Pitt,
Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter and Meat Loaf. In the game, Jack, who
suffers from insomnia and schizophrenia, meets Tyler Durden on an aeroplane.
After a number of very strange happenings, Tyler asks Jack to hit him - and
the first Fight Club is launched. The game mirrors the multiple twists and
turns of the film plot as Fight Clubs proliferate throughout the USA,
becoming increasingly more violent and out of control. The player's aim is to
beat baddie Tyler Durden and stop Fight Club pandemonium from breaking out.



Independence Day, also licensed from 20th Century Fox, sees the earth
under attack from aliens who are destroying buildings from their spacecraft.
Now is the time for the cream of the world's fighter pilots to shoot down the
UFOs, City Destroyers and alien 'mother' ship before they can wipe out Los
Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, Washington, Moscow, New York and London. As each alien
City Destroyer is defeated and the city is saved, play becomes increasingly
challenging with UFOs becoming more agile and harder to shoot down.



Kevin Roberts, CEO, Superscape Group plc said: "By optimizing for Intel
XScale Microarchitecture with Intel Wireless MMX technology, Superscape is
setting new standards for the delivery of console quality 3D games. It is
important as we strive to deliver even more compelling content to consumers
throughout the world that we are able to draw upon the leading-edge
technologies developed by Intel. I am delighted that we have developed such a
close and mutually beneficial partnership during the years in which we have
been working together."
