Big Fish Games Offers Vibrant Catalogue of Casual Games for U3 Smart Drives; Consumers Can Play Popular Big Fish Games On Virtually Any PC With U3 Smart Drives.

SEATTLE -- Big Fish Games, a leading developer and distributor of casual games, today announced support of the U3(TM) smart drive computing platform for the distribution and play of the world's finest casual games. Big Fish has released multiple games that support the U3 platform and will continue to deliver a diverse catalogue of puzzle, board, arcade, word, and action games in the coming months. Big Fish has already signed a bundling deal with a leading manufacturer to provide more than 10 million U3 smart drive consumers with Big Fish Games in 2006.

U3 smart drives carry and launch not only files but software programs, personal preferences and computer settings -- and the means for managing it all -- for use on any Windows 2000 or XP PC. Consumers simply plug a U3 smart drive into the USB port of the PC to access their entire personal digital universe, including their favorite Big Fish games. When they remove the drive, they take all of their personal information with them.

"We are excited to be pioneering the delivery of casual gaming content for the U3 platform," said Greg Enell, vice president of business development, Big Fish Games. "We are committed to the platform and look forward to working with U3 to provide our customers with high-quality, portable gaming content for U3 smart drives."

Among the games released by Big Fish Games for the U3 platform are Big Fish Sudoku(TM) and Mahjong Towers Eternity(TM). Big Fish Sudoku is a free Japanese numbers puzzle developed exclusively by Big Fish Studios(TM) for U3 smart drives. The goal of Sudoku is deceptively simple, but it is a challenging game of logic and reasoning. Mahjong Towers Eternity, a best-seller from Big Fish Studios, is the third installment in their award-winning mahjong franchise for PC and Mac. This ancient Chinese game of strategy and tile-matching allows players to choose from three distinct play modes, create their own tile sets and backdrops, and make unique layouts to share with others.

"U3 smart drives are perfect for families, students and gaming enthusiasts who like to take their games and entertainment with them," said Esther Kruijver, vice president of platform for U3. "Now gamers can keep the exciting world of Big Fish entertainment with them in their pockets, available to play on virtually any Windows PC."
