Were you once a pro at getting that little green Kermit across the road? What about the logs? Now here is your chance to prove your skills and win stuff in the process.

Los Angeles, Calif.- August 25, 2005 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced today that it has signed a multi-year deal with InfoSpace to develop and launch a new mobile games version of the video arcade classic FroggerR. Konami will distribute and market the game across carriers in the US. InfoSpace will power the game with its proprietary "For Prizes" platform which allows players to compete against each other to win prizes in continuous head-to-head and progressive tournaments.

"We are extremely excited about partnering with InfoSpace to bring Frogger for Prizes to legions of Frogger fans," said Joe Morris, executive director of mobile content for Konami. "Tournament play and prizes give the game
added novelty and excitement."

"Frogger for Prizes continues our winning streak of bringing top brands to our mobile tournament platform," said Andy Riedel, general manager of games for InfoSpace. "We are very excited about working with Konami to create innovative marketing programs. FroggerR for Prizes players are in for a real treat."

Frogger for Prizes is an authentic translation of the original arcade version of Frogger with multiple enhancements. To clear each level, players guide "Frogger" from the bottom of the handset screen across a busy road and treacherous river into each of five home squares. As the levels advance, the traffic gets faster and the risks increase. Skill-based tournament play enables players to upload their scores to compete for prizes.

Prizes will be awarded in both daily tournaments and weekly tournaments. The daily tournaments will be head-to-head competitions, where the players with the best win/loss ratio will claim the prizes. The weekly tournaments will be progressive, where the player with the highest overall score will win the prizes.

Frogger captured the hearts of gamers everywhere when it first appeared in arcades in 1981. More than 20 years later and over 20 million games sold to date, Frogger continues to be one of the most memorable and beloved pop icons in the history of video games. Additional new Frogger games will be released across platforms and wireless carriers this fall.
