In Fusio and Webraska join forces to create the first WAP location-based games.

Paris, Nov. 10, 1999. In Fusio, world-wide leader in games development and animation for mobile phone, and Webraska, the leading provider of real-time mapping and guidance services for WAP mobile phones, are joining forces to create the first location-based games on a mobile phone.

'We belong to a leisure world. With 17 billion of USD turnover and a worldwide installed base of more than 60 million of consoles and 100 million of pocket consoles, these facts show the hidden mass market needs for video games !

The mobile phone has a lot of assets for bringing fun and pleasure to customers, traffic and subscribers loyalty improvement for the operators. The mobile phone is becoming the over the air interactive walkman of videogames consoles" notes Gilles RAYMOND, In Fusio's CEO.

In Fusio's expertise in developing, customising and animating games for mobile phone added to Webraska's know-how in real-time mapping displayed directly on a GSM telephone screen, space search, and guidance services are set to break new ground in mobile phone interactive entertainment.

'We are very excited to work with In Fusio in creating a new set of revolutionary entertainment. These new games will use the single most differentiating factor mobile phones have over traditional home or personal entertainment : mobility', says Jean-Michel Durocher, Webraska's CEO.

'Webraska is the leading provider of real-time mapping services to help solve all mobility needs. Our message is simple : mobility is fun !', adds Jean-Michel Durocher.
