SAN JOSE, Calif., November 10, 2005 — GLOBAL VR, a leading manufacture of out-of-home video game products for the coin-operated industry announced a worldwide licensing agreement with Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers.

When asked about what this agreement means to GLOBAL VR and to the coin-op industry, Jim DeRose, GLOBAL VR's President and CEO, commented, “Distributors and operators in the coin-op industry have long been saying that innovation is what's necessary to help reinvigorate the coin-op industry, and they are right.” He went on to say, “We believe that we have found the products and the technology that will be the backbone for the innovative products that our industry expects. We are confident that the collaboration between GLOBAL VR and Ubisoft will help create the enthusiasm around coin-op gaming that has, for the past several years, been associated with home gaming.”

“Bringing Ubisoft's products to the coin-op market is extremely exciting,” said Jay Cohen, vice president of publishing at Ubisoft. “Playing video games in arcades and entertainment centers is a part of most everyone's life.
