Dave Lee, Director of BBC Multimedia comments: "BBC Multimedia has made a success of transforming great television brands into great interactive properties. Whilst our early success came from PC CD-ROMs, a range of PlayStation titles are now available, with a fourth title available from early April this year. In addition we now have three Game Boy Color titles on release. It makes good sense to extend our publishing interests to those formats that are appropriate for particular brands. Robot Wars enjoys a huge TV following and will be a good fit with the PlayStation 2 market, making this a very logical and obvious step for BBC Multimedia."
Let the battles begin.
