WARTHOG BUILDS DIGITAL BRIDGES

AIM listed computer games developer, Warthog, have signed a deal to bring the first of their recently announced Scott Adams games to mobile phones in conjunction with Digital Bridges Ltd.
This announcement follows Warthogs successful float on Londons Alternative Investment Market (AIM) earlier this month and their acquisition of the Scott Adams titles in January 2001. Digital Bridges have been pioneering wireless entertainment since 1998 and have successfully published many games over multiple network operators across the globe.
Scott Adams pioneered home computer entertainment, writing his first adventure game in 1978. Since then he has created a legendary catalogue of adventure titles hailed for their immersive and compelling nature. Adventureland is one of Scott Adams most famous adventures and challenges players to explore a mysterious island in search of hidden treasure.
Recent figures from Datamonitor suggest that the revenues from mobile content will reach more than $31.5 billion in 2005 compared with an estimated $2.4 billion in 2001. By far the largest portion, around $11 billion, of this revenue will be generated by entertainment content.
Digital Bridges have blazed a trail across the wireless Internet, that others are only now starting to follow, said Warthogs VP of Mobile and Internet Applications, Tim Coupe. They are the perfect partner for Warthog and will put the Scott Adams adventures in front of the widest possible mobile audience, worldwide.
Ashley Hall, Warthogs CEO commented We are truly excited by this new opportunity. This contract is in-line with the plans laid out in our Prospectus; by matching great proven properties of the Scott Adams series with the worlds leading mobile publisher- Digital Bridges, we are reducing the risks as we enter this new and exciting market.
Digital Bridges is committed to bringing world leading developers and publishers into the new medium of the wireless Internet, said Kevin Bradshaw, CEO and founder of Digital Bridges. Warthog are an internationally acclaimed developer, across all platforms and the Scott Adams adventures are a perfect first step into wireless for such an ambitious company. Digital Bridges technology platform and customer agreements will put Adventureland in front of the widest range of players in what is the most rapidly growing area of digital entertainment ever created.
