19th January 2005 -- (Hong Kong) Radica Games Limited (NASDAQ: RADA) announced today a worldwide licensing agreement with Codemasters Software Co Ltd and Sega Toys (a subsidiary of Sega® corporation) to manufacture and distribute Arcade Legends™ Sega® Mega Drive™ Sensible Soccer™ Plus. The multi-game unit will plug directly into a TV set and allow players to play three classic games developed by Sensible Software, including Sensible Soccer™, Cannon Fodder™ and Mega-Lo-Mania™. The product is expected to hit retail shelves in May 2005 and will retail for approximately £29.99. The game is designed to replicate the high quality of the original Sega Mega Drive versions and will feature two controllers, enabling one or two player gameplay. Pat Feely, Radica’s President and CEO said, “Sensible Software was one of the most important video game development houses of the nineties, creating fun, highly playable games and building a huge following. By re-launching their classic titles in an accessible plug and play format, Radica will be appealing to those original fans and taking a fantastic gaming experience to a whole new audience.” Matt Davies, Codemasters’ Business Development Manager, commented: “This is a great package of classic titles from the Sensible Software catalogue, which Codemasters acquired the rights to some years ago. Each game featured represents some of the most playable, original games of the 1990s and we’re thrilled to see them brought back to life thanks to Radica’s plug-and-play games system.” About Codemasters® Codemasters is a leading developer and publisher of best-selling interactive entertainment products for a global audience on current and future gaming platforms and channels.
