FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                                                               1st February 2005

THRILL-SEEKERS CAN JOIN THE EVEL-UTION WITH EVEL KNIEVEL 3D MOBILE GAME ON V 
CAST FROM VERIZON WIRELESS

BEDMINSTER, NJ and HOOK, UK - Superscape Group plc (LSE: SPS), the world's
leading 3D mobile games publisher, and Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading
wireless service provider, today announced Verizon Wireless's V CAST wireless
broadband multimedia service will feature Evel-ution - Superscape's 3D Evel
Knievel mobile game licensed by Global Wireless Entertainment (GWE) - as one of
its 3D games.  V CAST from Verizon Wireless is the first true 3G wireless
broadband consumer multimedia service in the country, allowing customers to view
crystal clear graphics for 3D games and short content because it runs on Verizon
Wireless' Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) network - the only widely available
wide-area wireless broadband network in the United States.  The V CAST coverage
area, which mirrors Verizon Wireless' EV-DO network, is available more than 30
major metropolitan markets and covers more than 75 million people.

The action-packed 3D Evel-ution game allows players to control Evel Knievel as
he goes on a wild ride through a series of obstacles and jumps, gaining points
as he progresses.  The various levels of the game take Evel over numerous ramps
made of anything from cars, buses and trucks to fountains.  Players need to use
considerable skill to control Evel's speed and maintain his balance as he moves
toward the 'Main Event' that includes the Vegas Fountain jump, the 13 Mack Truck
jump and a stadium packed with fourteen Greyhound buses in King's Island.

For $15.00 monthly access added to their Verizon Wireless calling plan,
customers get the V CAST VPak which includes unlimited access to a wide array of
more than 300 daily updated short content and video clips from leading content
providers.  Unlimited basic video clips are included, but application download
fees still apply for 3D Games, premium video clips and all other Get It Now(R)
applications.  There are no airtime charges to download or stream and watch
video clips and other V CAST content.  For a limited time, customers who sign up
for V CAST will receive two months of service free.  Verizon Wireless V CAST
customers also receive monthly access and unlimited browsing on Verizon
Wireless' Mobile Web 2.0SM news and information service.  In addition, customers
can choose from premium video clip content, available at additional cost that
includes music videos and more.

V CAST's array of hot new multimedia programming is located in the Get It Now
virtual store - customers can access short content from news, sports and
entertainment providers in the getVIDEO shopping aisle and check out new
cutting-edge 3D games in the getGAMES aisle. V CAST also gives customers
unlimited airtime to browse applications in the other familiar Get It Now
shopping aisles - such as getTONES and getGOING.  Evel-ution is available in 3D
Games section of the getGAMES shopping aisle in the Get It Now virtual store for
$2.49 monthly access or $8.99 for unlimited use purchase.

V CAST customers can find Evel-ution on the new 3G-capable VX8000 phone that
allows customers to download content with just a few clicks and experience
outstanding clarity and sharpness.  The LG VX8000 is available to Verizon
Wireless customers for $199.99 after $70 rebate with a two-year customer
agreement.  V CAST customers can also find Evel-ution on the Samsung a890, which
is $249.99 after a $70 rebate with a two-year customer agreement, and the
CDM8940 from UTStarcom Personal Communications (formerly Audiovox Communications
