January 11, 2001 - Continuing the expansion of its rapidly growing publishing business,
Majesco, Inc., today announced plans to release its fast-paced 3-D action game, Iridion
3-D, for Game Boy Advance. Iridion 3-D is currently being developed by Pipe Dream
Interactive, the in-house development studio for Majesco, Inc, and is scheduled to ship

environments including a disposal tunnel of an intergalactic space station and combat over
the Pacific Ocean. Each mission encounters an array of vicious mega-robots, bio-mechanic
worms, and brigades of Iridion Starfighter combat craft.

design
