iNFOiSLIVE, Instantcom AND First Star Software Announce Distribution Agreement For Boulder Dash®-M.E.™

HONG KONG and CHAPPAQUA, NY, U.S.A., April 23, 2003 - iNFOiSLIVE, a leader in the distribution of mobile entertainment solutions; and First Star Software, Inc., the Westchester, New York based designer and publisher of award winning games, announced today that they have entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement covering the J2ME and BREW versions of Boulder Dash®-M.E.™ throughout much of Asia.

Developed jointly with InstantCom, Ltd. of Zagreb, Croatia, Boulder Dash®-M.E.™ is the sixth game in the award winning Boulder Dash® series, one of the most enduring electronic game franchises in history. Losing none of its charm or playability in the mobile space, the game has 26 challenging caves (10 tutorial and 16 game caves) and a vast inventory of tools and weapons, like sledge hammers, kicks and bombs. Boulder Dash®-M.E.™ is also the first cell phone game ever to rotate the entire playfield 90 degrees, in real time. Already ranked #1 by Midlet-Review, and recipient of the Mobile Games Award™, the mophun™ version of Boulder Dash®-M.E.™ has consistently been among the top-selling mophun games, and is expected to carry this tradition into BREW and J2ME.

First Star's President, Richard M. Spitalny stated, "Working with InstantCom has been wonderful and they have managed to support many of the most popular hand-sets. Due to the number of mobile network operators iNFOiSLIVE works with in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Macau and Malaysia, we feel that the game will soon reach a very large audience throughout much of Asia."

Alan Yung, Business Development Manager of iNFOiSLIVE said, "First Star and InstantCom have developed a wonderful game. Combining Boulder Dash®-M.E.™ with iNFOiSLIVE's experience and network in Asia is sure to bring an innovative, exciting mobile entertainment experience to over 250 million mobile users in Asia."
