Superscape was founded nearly twenty years ago, and has been dedicated throughout its history to the development of ground-breaking software technology for the creation and delivery of innovative, high quality interactive 3D applications.
Over the years, Superscape has amassed unparalleled expertise and experience in the development of 3D software capable of working within the constraints of limited memory devices, slow processor speeds and strictly controlled file sizes.

Drawing on this knowledge, Superscape has established a world-leading position in the development of industry-standard 3D technology and applications for mobile devices. The company's Swerve technology has been developed specifically for wireless environments in close collaboration with ARM, and comprises a 3D engine (Swerve Client), authoring tools (Swerve Studio) and a broad portfolio of 3D content, with particular emphasis on 3D games. Swerve is being adopted on a global basis by many of the mobile industry's leading players, together with world-renowned content and brand organisations.

Superscape has corporate headquarters in Hook, Hampshire (UK) and San Clemente, California (USA) with regional offices in Tokyo and Sydney. The company is quoted on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: SPS).



Superscape (SPS) has received various tips in the press and by Analysts recently which will certainly give impetous to the share price. Indicators are looking good with the RSI rising off an oversold position and the MACD crossing showing BULLISH signs for the stock.

The mobile gaming market is still in it's infancy but the projected revenue is enormous. Mobile operators are looking at tapping the Gameboy market as they feel that users will not want to carry around a multitude of technology and if they have a mobile phone which can double as a gaming station than people will prefer this option.

People should also look at the recent contracts which SPS have signed for their technology. This is a technology company which could well be a great success in 2004.

skids

the sellers have been taken out so we should see a retracement to 55+

Nice writeup in Shares mag today. Tipped as one of the their top ten penny shares to buy.

Sales will triple...buy at 51p

looks to me like support will be tested at 45p!

skids

yes peel hunt still had a seller this morning so 45 is prob next. Only good thing is there are quite a few traders to jump in when the seller is taken out so a nice rally should see 50+

Anyone else get the feeling we're about to get some news?

skids

skids maybe but volume doesnt seem to be up.

plenty of buyers around today. rang co. yesterday confirmed results April and that no trading statement was planned.

Some brief news here about one of SPS 3D games (search for superscape)

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050131/nym111_1.html

Essentially, the pay as you go is starting, i.e. a monthly subscription fee versus a one-off own it payment for the games.

Will be interesting to see the various deals that come along with this new way of obtaining games.

I'm not sure what the cut is for SPS versus the provider/network operator, but the monthly fee in US is $2.5 versus $9 one off fee.

Next 6 mths should be quite exciting.

And here is confirmation on that news I mentioned earlier.

the only widely available wide-area wireless broadband network in the United
States. The V CAST coverage area, which mirrors Verizon Wireless' EV-DO
network, is available in more than 30 major metropolitan markets and covers more
than 75 million people.


AMF Xtreme Bowling allows players to choose from the classic wood lanes to the

of the 3G network V CAST runs on, means that we are able to deliver a truly

chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless.

market seems to like it!

These drips of news regarding new deals are great but what the market needs to see is firm revenues showing on the bottom line. What are these games actually earning for SPS ? I am holding but the company needs to sort out its communications with investors.

jimwren,

The results will show the real figures. Until then I suspect we won't get any figures. IMO.

Shares magazine did mention some figures about the cut SPS would get on UK games (something like 2 from 5 download charge), but you'll have to look back at the issues to see - as I can't remember which edition it was (assuming you get the mag that is).

SPS is about the long haul, if you want a quick buck you might be dissappointed. My honest opinion on the progress is its the right way to go, steady move up. Not sudden reaction. I think their strategy is fine.

rgds,
skids

$2.49 monthly access or $8.99 for unlimited use purchase, the number one 2d game generates a million downloads a month on verizon, that's the reaon this news is a big deal. Verizon are the top dog for games in the US, a top selling game is big bucks and you only have to m ake it once. No cd's to print, no advertising, just give it to Verizon and take half of the revenue! Shorters don't understand this company and why it has it's current valuation, DYOR and you will undrstand!

ehall I totally agree.

I wouldn't class myself as a very experienced investor, but this is one of the clearer ones if you take the time to look properly.

skids

the selling pressure was due to the possibility of a fund raising. now some weeks have passed i think the buyers will dismiss it as a rumour. As far as i know income is good and they do not need cash.

I understand that SPS also have a swerve enabled npd close to launch in mobile gaming, the next big growth area. If this is right and they can lauunch soon then the ability to leverage existing customers and deliver a further revenue stream beckons. Anyone else picking this up?
