BLOB LIGHT
October 10, 2000

NYKO introduces another lifetime light source for Game Boy in addition to its top-selling Worm Light. The Blob Light, which resembles a monster-like mass of slime, will be available nationwide for $14.99 in time for Halloween.

"The Blob Light is unique in that it essentially brings to life an ordinary electronics piece. Suddenly, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Pocket have a distinct personality," said Robert Rienick, vice president sales and marketing, NYKO. "The Blob Light is also intriguing in that it can be seen as something different to everyone -- fun and frightening."

The compact, portable and adjustable Blob Light comes in two colors, purple and green. It molds to the Game Boy Color extension port and provides a clear "white light" illumination that covers the entire screen, without distortion.

The Blob Light's patented white light technology draws a small amount of power from the existing power supply and does not require any additional batteries.

"The Blob Light, like the Worm Light, provides a solution to a need within the gaming industry for a better light source for Game Boy," Rienick said. "We expect the Blob Light to be just as sought-after as the Worm Light because of its simplicity, its efficiency and its playful appearance."
