JALECO ENTERTAINMENT INTRODUCES RACING, TRADING FOR GBA  

Buffalo, New York - November 13, 2002 -Jaleco Entertainment™ announces two new titles for the Game Boy® Advance - Karnaaj Rally™ and Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan™ - both due out by the end of the year.  

Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan is the first commodities trading game for the GBA. Set in the early 1800s on the high seas around the globe, the player captains a ship, chooses a first mate and sets out to explore new worlds. Trade at exotic ports, sell goods on the black market, all the while fending off bloodthirsty pirates, mysterious mermaids and bounty hunters.

The colorful, comic book art style appeals to all gamers and the sophisticated game play will grab adventurers with six maps to unlock, 36 types of commodities to trade, 30 ports to explore and 25 ship upgrade features. Raise your sails and rouse your crew - Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan enters the North American market in mid-December.  

Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan is rated T.

"There's so much more to Sea Trader than commodities trading," said Kirt Lemons, Jaleco Entertainment producer. "It's a very rich adventure game with engaging characters, fantastic encounters, bloody sea battles and many customizable features that put the captain in control of much of their sea-faring ventures."

Karnaaj Rally is a combat racing game featuring lush 2D and 3D graphics to captivate gamers with this action-packed top-down racer.  

As the driver wins races and earns prize money, Karnaaj Rally offers car upgrades, new weapons choices and more challenging tracks. The 22 detailed tracks bring realism to the gameplay with spare tires, pylons and other obstacles affecting the race. Karnaaj Rally has a fully configurable multi-player mode with support for up to four players.  

Race in career, quick race and time trial modes. Save best times on the cartridge for future races. Developed by Paragon 5, Karnaaj Rally races into stores at the end of December. It is rated E.  

"Karnaaj can stand alone on its gameplay," said Craig Harris, editor of IGN Game Boy. "This game is extremely tight, extremely deep and just downright gorgeous on the GBA screen."
