In addition to 12 CD ROM titles slated for distribution beginning this year, TDK will publish a full range of Sound Source Interactive Playstation titles and distribute them throughout Europe, Australia and Japan. Exact terms of the agreement remain confidential, but TDK will finance a major portion of product development with titles expected to ship beginning in summer 2000.
