HONG KONG, April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Radica (Nasdaq: RADA) has entered into
an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Nike, Inc. for the rights to
market Tiger Woods branded electronic handheld games. The Company said it
plans to introduce its first Tiger Woods product during the Fall of 1999.
Additional new products are currently planned for introduction in 2000.
Bob Davids, Radica's CEO said, "Tiger Woods is the most exciting new star
in sports today. Radica is thrilled to be developing innovative new products
that will feature the Tiger Woods name. This license provides another example
of Radica's strategy to broaden its array of important game properties."
"Pairing Tiger Woods and Radica is a win for everyone," said Michealene
Cristini Risley, President of Fresh Water Spigot who brought Nike and Radica
together. "Consumers will be attracted to these great products in large part
because of Tiger, but won't be able to put them down because of Radica's
innovation -- I can't think of a more natural fit."
New Tiger Woods Ultimate Golf(TM) is shaped like a golf club and has swing
sensors that measure swing velocity and direction. This breakthrough game
simulates the actual experience of playing a round of golf. You play a full
18-hole round of golf by electronically selecting the right club for each shot
and then executing an actual golf swing correctly. Swing errors can lead to
slices, hooks and shanks, just like the real sport. Also to be introduced is
Tiger Woods Power Golf. This lower priced game fits into your pocket and can
be taken anywhere.
