Tiger Telematics’ Gizmondo™ Confirms This Month’s All-star Releases

One-new-game-a-week release policy continues unabated

LONDON, 3rd August 2005 - Gizmondo Europe Ltd subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc (other OTC, TGTL), is delighted to confirm this month's line up on titles for release on the Gizmondo multi-entertainment handheld as Point of DestructionTM, Classic CompendiumTM, Ball BustersTM, EA SPORTSTM FIFA Football 2005, and SSX 3TM.

Following hot on the heals of recent releases, Sticky BallsTM, the fiendishly addictive puzzle game, and the awesomely fast driving spectacular, Richard Burns RallyTM, these games promise to offer something for everyone.

The new titles start with another Shaun Southern classic. Originally an arcade classic on the Commodore 64, Point of Destruction has been revamped and remade for the Gizmondo by the same team who brought you the highly addictive 'Trailblazer'.

The player takes control of the POD, a spherical spacecraft sent down onto the "Power Grid" to thwart an alien attack. The mission is to withstand each enemy attack, pitted against the clock, until time runs out and you move forward to the next wave. Point of Destruction releases this week priced at £9.99.

Cameron Spilman, Executive Producer, Gizmondo, says: "Point of Destruction is another classic title that works so well on a handheld format. It's fun, easy to pick up and play, and is releasing at a great price point."

Gizmondo is powered by Microsoft Windows CE advanced real-time operating system, boasting a 2.8-inch TFT colour screen with a Samsung ARM9 400Mhz processor and incorporates the GoForce 3D 4500 NVIDIA graphics accelerator. It provides cutting-edge gaming, multimedia messaging, an MP3 music player, Mpeg4 movie playing capability, a digital camera and a GPRS network link to allow wide-area network gaming. Additionally, it contains a GPS chip for location-based services, is equipped with Bluetooth for use in multi-player gaming and accepts SD and MMC card accessories.
