For Immediate Release:

LONDON, June 27th. Telcogames Germany GmbH and Ojom GmbH have reached an agreement which allows the Telcogames group to offer and distribute Ojom's large catalogue of mobile games to more than 400 channels worldwide, including many of the larger mobile network operators.

Under the agreement, Telcogames will act as an extension to Ojom's own sales team and help to considerably widen the distribution of Ojom's portfolio by leveraging Telcogames international offices and their experienced sales staff as well as their extensive established network of global online, print and broadcasting partners. Telcogames will be able to service assigned channels exclusively.

Ojom publishes a wide range of mobile games and entertainment titles including games based on brands such as The Crow, Sportschau and Duke Nukem. With the critically acclaimed "Attack of the Killer Virus", Ojom has also published the mobile world's first 'augmented reality' game which incorporates the phone's camera as part of the game play experience. Further highly innovative, "made for mobile" applications will be released shortly including the Nokia Star Award winning Foto Fighter, and the camera controlled 3D game Action Twister. Telcogames will also help introduce the first products incorporating properties from recently signed licensing agreements with Sony Pictures Digital and Universal Studios Licensing, allowing Ojom to publish mobile games based on popular movie and television properties such as Land Of The Dead*, Men In Black*, E.T.- The Extra Terrestrial*, Monk*, Back To The Future*, Shaun Of The Dead*, Starship Troopers*, Charlie's Angels*, Jerry Maguire*, The Big Lebowski* and many others.

Ojom supports a wide variety of technology platforms by using a proprietary development environment which provides support for Java, Brew, Symbian, MS Smartphone / Windows Mobile and DoJa handsets. Ojom is committed to certified quality and all future Java based releases carry the official Java Powered quality mark.

Thomas Brockhage, the General Manager of Ojom said, "The growth of the mobile entertainment market in the past twelve months has been staggering. The number of players worldwide has increased greatly and access to mobile games has become even more convenient and widespread. Now mobile gamers can find the latest titles through print advertising and the Internet as well as through their mobile carrier. The agreement with Telcogames will help ensure that end users all around the world can play Ojom games, no matter where they are or which network they use."

Jamie Conyngham, the Chief Executive Officer of Telcogames, said, "We are excited about working so closely with Ojom. The quality of Ojom's titles and licenses speak for themselves. Ojom's roadmap of titles including their branded portfolio which contains properties with unparalleled name recognition is very exciting, as is their ability to support a very wide range of handsets globally-- irrespective of the underlying technology."
