With reference to todays sell recommendation in the Investors chronicle. Just a note of warning, this magazine also said to buy Finsbury Foods last month, their research is very often weak and the article on superscape is a prime example. The facts are that games based on Swerve where the client is embedded on the chip will run significantly faster than any other games, so that removes the competition from 3 of the worlds 5 biggest manufacturers. Other companies may want to enter the market but this is already a barrier to entry. DEvelopment of games is open, superscape never wanted a monopoly on development and it never will have but look at the deals signed already (why use Java?)! Also note the other recommendations on the same day, it is funny how investors chronicle completely contradicts itself recommending and selling companies that have never made a profit within 2 pages!

skids - 23 Jan 2004 08:51 - 127 of 195

agreed ehall, superscape will succeed, they have the patents and the support of the industry. Anyone thinking of selling should seriously research the facts - this one will be worth double by year end/Q1 2005.

GameMobile issues 2003 Christmass mobile java games top-seller list
Www.GameMobile.co.uk, one of the leading UK distributors of Mobile Phone Games for java enabled phones, saw an incredible increase in sales of their mobile games over the 2003 festive period.

(PRWEB) January 17 2004--It seems that everybody got a colour phone at Christmas and one of the first things they wanted to do was play games. The GameMobile site saw an increase of over 178% in traffic and mobile game sales almost doubled. The most popular models were the SonyEricsson T610 and Nokias new N-Gage, with the Nokia 3650 & 3510i closely following. The two top models accounted for over a third of the traffic though.

Amazingly, the top overall games were more strategic in nature rather than the more traditional arcade games. Probably because theyre easier from a button control point of view. Over the 2 week Christmas period the top 5 games were:

1: Townsmen - build & run a city simulator game.
2: Air Traffic Control - simulator game.
3: Kaprov 3D Chess - top 3D chess game.
4: Italian Job - racing arcade game based on the new film.
5: Rack em up - classic pool-hall game.

Game sales are going through the roof as hunger builds for the demanding consumer today who wants their mobile phone to become a full entertainment platform. Worldwide mobile phone sales were up again in the third quarter of 2003, with 132.8 million units sold, a 22 percent increase from last year. Source: www.enn.ie - and most of these are colour java-enabled handsets capable of playing mobile phone games.

We see the future of mobile java games and applications as key to the marketplace. Www.gamemobile.co.uk, for example, is also developing many other applications for users not only in the gaming arena. With our new applications it will soon be possible to browse the web, pick up email and do instant chat, gambling and alike on lower level java handsets - something which has only so far been the reserve of high-end mobile phones.

Were very excited about 2004 with hundreds of new games titles on the horizon and the integration of amazing java applications

Breaking News

New Evel-ution game for Superscape to be announced tommorrow as reported in Financial Mail today. The game for mobile phones is based upon Motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel.

Expect to see share price boosted when the stockmarket opens tommorrow.

ehall - 25 Jan 2004 17:50 - 132 of 195

Would Evil put his game on a platform that according to the IC has no future! ARM rsults out on Tuesday I think, possibly a suprise in that. Before you sell your shares, read the IC carefully and DYOR on superscape, the article has several flaws in it! Excluding cash, SPS is now worth around 36m, even with only three of the top five world manufacturers licensing their product, this is not very risk. And where exactly is the risk in a company that has 15m in the bank at the last count!

Knievel makes the leap into mobiles
Andrew Leach, Mail on Sunday
25 January 2004


OTORCYCLE daredevil Evel Knievel will appear on mobile phone screens in a state-of-the-art game from Superscape Group to be announced tomorrow.
















Shares in Superscape are likely to be boosted when it tells the Stock Exchange of the latest breakthrough.



The company has developed the industry standard for mobile gaming, thanks to its Swerve 3D graphics software which produces highly realistic images.


It is starting to roll out games and will use the software in a game featuring stunt legend Knievel, who jumped 13 double decker buses at Wembley Stadium in 1975 to be played on new generation handsets.


Superscape has signed a licensing and publishing deal with brand development company Global Wireless Entertainment.


Kevin Roberts, Superscape's chief executive, said: 'Given the worldwide interest in this personality and his spectacular exploits, I believe that the Evelution game will prove a great hit for gamers worldwide.'

Various levels are included in the game which take Evel over ramps made of cars, buses, trucks and fountains.

Had to phone up this morning to add to my holding. The limit was at 50000. It would not let me even buy 15000.
It seems that Legins could be right.

Def hold.
