CODEFIRE CELEBRATES LAUNCH OF SEGA SMASH PACK
September 25th, 2002 (12:00am) - 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 CodeFires 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."
