JALECO ENTERTAINMENT BOPS TO THE BEAT THIS HOLIDAY WITH MULTI-PLATFORM SUPER BUBBLE POP

Buffalo, New York - November 22, 2002 -Jaleco Entertainment™ announced today it will publish the super-active puzzler Super Bubble Pop on the Game Boy® Advance, Nintendo GameCube™, Xbox™ video game system from Microsoft, and PlayStation®.

Super Bubble Pop is a colorful, fast-action, pulse-pounding puzzle adventure, incorporating key elements of some of history's most classic games. Super Bubble Pop showcases stunning 3D graphics and light-sourced, environment mapped models that surpass anything available in the genre today.

Super Bubble Pop is a hyper-addictive puzzle challenge set to pulsating, electronica music. Super Bubble Pop is one of the rare puzzle games to use "Power Ups", enabling each character to enlist its special "Super Attack" mode and accelerate game play. Distinctive bubbles are created exclusively in the Head-2-Head multi-player game.

"Players pick from a list of whimsical characters, each with their own distinctive devastating attacks, to pop, bash and smash their way through over 150 levels," says Mick Waites, producer at the UK-based development studio, Runecraft.

Publisher Jaleco Entertainment releases all four platforms in December, taking advantage of features unique to each platform. Says Jaleco Entertainment president, Dick Wnuk, "Super Bubble Pop offers a fun and highly addictive game play experience which will elevate the puzzle genre on the next-generation platforms."
