Silverstar's Empire Interactive to Publish 'Martian Panic' On Nintendo Wii(tm)

New Title is Slated for Release in First Half 2009


BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 4, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Empire Interactive, an international publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software and a unit of Silverstar Holdings (Nasdaq:SSTR), unveiled "Martian Panic," the three-dimensional sci-fi shooter game for the Wii(tm) system. The new title is slated for release in the first half of 2009.

The Martian Invasion Force has targeted Earth for complete destruction and players will need more than manpower and firepower to avoid mission defeat. The Martian Mothership looms overhead, draining energy from the Earth's core. Humans must save Earth from the extraterrestrial encounter before the Invasion Force vaporizes our planet.

Developed by N-Fusion Interactive Entertainment Corp., Martian Panic will take the Wii shooting genre out of this world, with new levels of strategy, and experimental weaponry. If one gun at a time isn't enough, players can grab a second Wii Remote(tm) and blast away in the game's dual wielding mode. Up to four players can battle simultaneously against the Martian onslaught and the advanced camera system ensures that the gamer's vantage is always right. The rules are simple but the action is intense, so hold onto your helmet as the challenges escalate.

"Martian Panic is a 1950's comic book come to life in a highly stylized three-dimensional sci-fi game world," said P.J. Snavely, director of product management at Empire Interactive. "Wii fans of all ages will appreciate the amazing visual details and the family-friendly, nonstop action."
