Woodbridge, NJ, March 12th, 2003 –

Matrix Games (http://www.matrixgames.com)
and Just Play, a division of Just Flight Ltd (http://www.justflight.com)
are pleased to announce that it had signed a contract to exclusively
distribute Matrix Games’ range of products throughout Europe, South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand.

The first products include titles from the most respected developers of the

Grigsby, Joel Billings, Roger Keating and Ian Trout. Titles due for release
during Quarter 2, 2003 are:

Uncommon Valor:
Campaign for the South Pacific:

This is a highly detailed wargame, designed by Gary Grigsby, renowned as a
pre-eminent wargame designer, recreating the air, land and sea battles that
took place in the South Pacific in 1942 and 1943.

Decisive Battles
Vol. 2: Korsun Pocket:

This is the long-awaited sequel to The Ardennes Offensive designed by
Strategic Studies Group (SSG), the designers of Warlords and Battlecry series.
Korsun Pocket challenges armchair strategists to re-fight a "mini-Stalingrad"
of the desperate German attempt to escape encirclement on the Russian Front in
early 1944.

Starships
Unlimited – Divided Galaxies:

Is a classic Sci-Fi "4X" strategy Game, where players eXplore the galaxy,
eXploit the resources they find, eXpand their empires, then eXterminate their
enemies.

Titans of Steel –
Warring Suns: Is a tactical robot (Titan-Attack Tech) combat game
with an integrated role-playing system plus the ability to play virtual
battles over the Internet.

David Heath, Director of Operations for Matrix Games said "Every publisher
looks for a partner that understands it products and that can give customers
in other countries the same standards of service and support as in its home
territory. We believe we have found such a partner in Just Play, and look
forward to working with them to deliver a great range of strategy games to the
European market."

"Much as we have done so successfully with flight simulation, we have spent
much time researching the computer strategy games market and identified a need
for games that are more than just grabbing resources, building the biggest
armies and overwhelming your opponent in real time. We believe there is a
market for strategy games that have great attention to detail and a strong
artificial intelligence that offer a real challenge to the player and that
allows the armchair strategist to take his time. Matrix Games have a range of
games that meet these needs perfectly, and we are delighted to be able to
bring these products to the European market." Stated Mungo Amyatt-Leir,
Managing Director of Just Flight Ltd., stated.

Bob Malin, recently appointed Product Manager for Just Play offered "My first
job in the Industry was as product manager for the Strategic Simulations Inc.
(SSI) brand at US Gold way back in 1989. Since then the strategy games market
has gone through many changes, with most major publishers ignoring any
strategy game that is not real time. It is great to be working with Matrix
Games to bring games to the market from designers such as Gary Grigsby, who
was the leading designer at SSI, and the team at SSG who know that there are
gamers who appreciate authenticity and want a game to test their skills as a
general."
