Versaly teams with Lee Oskar to create pleasing ringtones

[Guest midnight]

Seattle, WA — January 15, 2002 — Versaly Games, Inc., a mobile entertainment company that publishes and distributes interactive games, digital pictures, audio and video clips, and other fun-to-use content to subscribers using next-generation mobile phones, today announces it has signed Lee Oskar, a founding member and lead harmonica player from the pioneer funk/jazz group WAR, to create and produce pleasing and fun mobile phone ringtones and other mobile music. Together, Versaly and Lee Oskar have raised the bar for quality music on mobile phones.

Mr. Oskar’s signature harmonica playing in hit songs such as Cisco Kid, Low Rider, Slipping Into Darkness and Why Can’t We Be Friends helped to define the band’s sound from the beginning, in 1969, adding dashes of color to their R&B/Jazz/Rock and Latin influences. Mr. Oskar’s excitement is reflected in his comments on the relationship, "The current ringtones hurt my ears. Versaly is in the right place at the right time. Finally, a company who sees the future and is working towards delivering the future. My music is special to me and I feel Versaly will distribute it in a manner consistent with my vision and creativity."

"Ringtones and music by Lee Oskar will add a distinguished flair to our large library of content for mobile phones. Lee Oskar is working as hard now as he was back in the days of WAR. He continues to play and produce with a creative insight that is ideal for the mobile phone market. He is a real inspiration and we welcome him into Versaly’s family of content," said Mr. Feldman, president and chief executive officer of Versaly.

Many companies are developing games on existing wireless application protocols (WAP) and mobile phones with small black and white screens and low-quality audio. Versaly is publishing games, high quality digital pictures, high fidelity audio and music, video clips, and other content for next-generation mobile phones, including the "Stinger" smartphone from Microsoft.
