JoWooD and Edelweiss Medienwerkstatt draw up the agreement on

Rottenmann/Vienna - March 24, 2004, JoWooD Productions Software AG, a

wave-making online game "YETISPORTS."

YETISPORTS, developed by Edelweiss Medienwerkstatt located in Vienna,
was introduced for the first time online on December 26, 2003. Since
then, www.yetisports.org has attracted more than 100 Million visitors
per month. Since YETISPORTS has been available for download on
numerous other sites, the actual hit rate per month has climbed far
beyond 200 million - on a rising tendency. The USA and Japan are
leading the hit rate statistics, followed by Germany and various
other Western European countries.
YETISPORTS is a game for everyone (Casual Game) with an enormous(ly)
addictive potential. It can be played right off the bat - no annoying
handbooks to read, no major adjustments to be made - and players
experience instant success within the first few seconds of the game.
Andreas Tobler, CEO at JoWooD, "We are happy and proud to include
this extremely interesting casual-game brand, which has reached
worldwide popularity and recognition at lightening-speed, in our
portfolio.  We are convinced, we will be able to launch a series of
attractive games and establish a sustained impression as a brand name
on the market."
Stephan Mahrhofer, Lead Manager of Edelweiss Medienwerkstatt:
"YETISPORTS has been welcomed with open arms and total enthusiasm by
gamers worldwide. We have managed to establish a widespread
utilization chain, starting with the online game, which optimally
covers the needs of the game-community. After just a few weeks,
numerous giants from the gaming industry contacted us. JoWooD tipped
the scales lastly - not only because JoWooD was able to present an
extremely engaged and planned strategy for YETISPORTS in the
electronic games’ marketing-arena.  We are certain to have found the
best business partner in JoWooD. A partner who is willing to take the
right steps together with us to make YETISPORTS  a success in the
video game industry."
This agreement also underlines JoWooD’s business strategy in a
sustainable manner;  the selective expansion of their own portfolio
of products by including popular third-party licenses to bring a
fully balanced portfolio of products with an enormous hit-potential
to the market.  Along with Stargate SG1* and Torque: Savage Roads**
(German title "Hart am Limit"), this is already the third agreement
within only a few weeks and months.

for PC, game console and handheld platforms.
