For Immediate Release: November 25, 2002

Troy, New York – Vicarious Visions, Inc. today announced the completion of its first handheld game for wireless phones, Activision, Inc.’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater® 4, for wireless. Vicarious Visions was selected by JAMDAT Mobile Inc. to develop the wireless version of the game. Vicarious Visions also developed the award-winning Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series for Game Boy® Advance and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 for the PlayStation® game console.

The unique design of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 for wireless allows beginners and gaming aficionados to pick up the game and play immediately. The game features six different levels and 14 skaters across three game packs -- Euro Tour, West Coast and Road Trip -- that provide a rich game experience. Each of the skaters can perform 10 different skating tricks plus one special individual move to gain points. When players achieve scoring objectives, the player can unlock new tricks or features. Additionally, a new game mode challenges the player to complete specific tricks in sequence before a preset time limit expires.
