MAJESCO UNVEILS EXCITING VIDEO GAME LINE-UP FOR 2003 ELECTRONIC
ENTERTAINMENT EXPO


Two Impressive New Intellectual Properties Drive Company’s Expanding
Portfolio of Titles

EDISON, NJ,
May 5, 2003 – Committed to publishing a diversified product lineup and developing its own
intellectual properties, Majesco, one of the fastest-growing publishers of interactive
entertainment, today announced its game line-up for this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3),
to be held in Los Angeles, May 14-16.  Included among the titles on display are two impressive new
intellectual properties, Black9(tm) and
Advent Rising
, both of which will be publicly unveiled
for the first time at the show.

"Majesco
has focused its resources on presenting a collection of first-rate titles, and we believe this
year’s line-up is our strongest to date," said Jesse Sutton, President of Majesco.  "Each game
reflects our vision and commitment to producing exciting, high-quality games, while continuing to
reinforce our position as a growing powerhouse of interactive entertainment."

Headlining
Majesco’s E3 2003 line-up is Black9, an exciting new
action/RPG that weaves intense game play through a captivating story, with streamlined RPG-style
character development.  In Black9, players encounter
rival mercenaries, assassins, spies and soldiers as they battle through fascinating environments on
Earth, the moon and Mars.  Developed by Taldren,
Black9

will be released this fall
for play on the console and
personal computer.

Unveiled
for the first time at E3 will be Advent Rising,
is an intergalactic action/adventure of
truly epic proportions and the first in a trilogy of
games and novels.  Advent Rising is akin to a
fast-paced action movie where the player is swept up in an ever-evolving series of sequences and
events.  Award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card has embellished the gripping
storyline that will thrust gamers and readers alike into an intergalactic quest. 
Advent Rising
is being developed by GlyphX Games for
Xbox and PC, and is scheduled for release in 2004.

Majesco
will also be showcasing BlowOut, a run and gun,
side-scrolling action combat shooter, developed by Pipe Dream Interactive for console and PC. BlowOut
features 3D character models and allows players to create their own levels with the built-in level
editor and distribute them via BlowOuts
interactive website.

Rounding
out Majesco’s next-generation offerings is Drake, a
third-person, story-driven action-shooter visualized in a vibrant "neon-gothic" comic book-style.
Developed by Idol FX for Xbox and PC and scheduled for release this fall,
Drake
offers double-fisted pistol action, supernatural
enemies and an unexpected twist to the storyline that will leave players shocked.

Majesco
will also introduce two new games for Game Boy Advance, both due for release this fall.
Cartoon Network Speedway
is a
kart-style racing game in which players race to the finish
line as their favorite Cartoon Network characters from: Courage
the Cowardly Dog
; Cow and Chicken;
Ed, Edd n Eddy
;
Johnny Bravo
and Sheep in the Big City. Gamers
are challenged to race with speed and skill to obtain the highest popularity rating from the crowd.


Cartoon Network Block Party

allows up to four players to compete "party style" to earn money
for a new game room at Cartoon Network. Players must master each of the game’s four colorful boards
themed to a specific Cartoon Network show, including Johnny
Bravo
, Ed, Edd n Eddy,
Courage the Cowardly Dog
and
Cow and Chicken
. Boards feature 21 unique mini-games to
challenge a player’s skills in a variety of disciplines from racing to targeting to skateboarding.
