GAMESHARK IS DEAD
December 6, 2002

Datel Electronics has terminated its distribution agreement with InterAct Accessories and will no longer supply products sold under the GameShark brand. Over the past 6 years, the Datel developed, and GameShark branded, game enhancers have become the most popular cheat device in North America selling in excess of 4 million units. Datel will begin distributing the products itself under the Action Replay brand.

The following is the list of products the company plans to release in December:

• Action Replay GCN - $39.99
• Action Replay PSone - $14.99
• Action Replay PS2 w/8MB memory card - $39.99
• Action Replay PS2 w/ 16MB memory card - $49.99
• Go-Net PS2 (network/broadband adapter) - $29.99

And in January:

• Action Replay GBA - $19.99

Action Replay will be available for Xbox next month in Europe, but no mention of a US release was made in today's announcement.

All Action Replay codes will be 100% compatible with GameShark 2 ones, and it is also backward compatible with SharkPort and SharkBoard.

"Although our relationship with InterAct has ended, we continue on with the technology, creative talent and manufacturing expertise to expand on what we started a number of years ago," says Mike Connors, Managing Director of Datel Electronics, LTD. "We look to the future with great excitement and a commitment to continue building next generation products that will further enhance the gaming experience."
