On-line Plc Wins International Licence

On-line Plc, the AIM listed Internet company has announced the signing of a
major international licence for its games publishing label On-line Sports.

Based in Switzerland, the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), is
the world body regulating and co-ordinating international motorcycle
competitions including indoor and outdoor motorcycle trial events and trial
championships in over 80 countries. The FIM has granted the three-year
agreement, spanning on-box, promotional and in-game branding to On-line Sports
for the forthcoming title XBT (Extreme Bike Trials).

The licence covers all territories and formats including PC, DVD, Sony
PlayStation and Playstation 11, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, Gameboy, Colour
Gameboy and Dolphin as well as Internet and broad bandwidth platforms. In
addition, On-line has the right to the FIM licence for sequel titles within
the three-year time frame.

XBT is the second title to be announced by On-line Plc for their On-line
Sports label.  Michael Hodges, MD of On-line Plc states: 'This is the first
major licence we have signed with an international sporting body for this
label, and it lends huge credibility to the consumer market place.  From a
development perspective it means we will receive significant assistance from
the FIM about the official bike trial stadiums, accurate motorbike models and
liveries, giving the game an unprecedented level of realism.'

XBT is already in development and PC and Nintendo Colour Gameboy versions are
scheduled for release before Christmas 2000.
