CODEFIRE CELEBRATES LAUNCH OF SEGA SMASH PACK

IRVINE, Calif. - September 24, 2002 - CodeFire, Inc., celebrates the

launch of Sega Smash Pack for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. The title

was developed by CodeFire for Sega and is being published by THQ. Sega

Smash Pack is the second title developed by CodeFire for Sega, following

Sega Swirl for Palm, which launched in December 2001.

The three-in-one title Sega Smash Pack features direct ports of the

classic 16-bit Sega Genesis games Sonic Spinball, Ecco the Dolphin and

Golden Axe. Each game includes modes found in their Sega Genesis

incarnations, but now players can take the games anywhere with the

portable Game Boy Advance. John Panettiere served as CodeFire's lead

programmer on Sega Smash Pack.

"We are very happy to work with Sega on these classic titles. Sega

Smash Pack contains examples of three of the great games for which Sega

is known," said Michael Williams, Chief Executive Officer of CodeFire.

"There is excitement and buzz about the games in Sega Smash Pack. We

are confident that players will be satisfied with the results of our

hard work."

Following are details on the three games contained in Sega Smash Pack:

* Sonic Spinball - This exciting and challenging pinball

game, set in the Sonic universe, actually features Sonic the Hedgehog as

the ball! Players can use their pinball skills to navigate Sonic

through four huge levels in order to defeat Dr. Robotnik yet again.

* Ecco the Dolphin - In this much-celebrated game, players

take on the role of Ecco, a playful, carefree dolphin who has to rescue

his lost dolphin friends. As players venture through a variety of

different levels in an underwater world, they encounter dozens of

creatures - not all of which are friendly.

* Golden Axe - The arcade classic Golden Axe lets players

select from three unique characters, each with his or her own character

attributes and basic attack and magic abilities. Players can battle

their way through this popular action adventure to defeat the evil Death

Adder and his hordes of minions.

Sega Smash Pack has a suggested retail price of $29.99. The

Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated the title "E" for

"Everyone."
