June 25 - NEAH Successfully Tests Anaerobic Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Prototype

NEAH Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWS), the Company developing fuel cells for the military and portable electronic devices, announced today it has successfully demonstrated a new type of low cost, high reliability and power, liquid electrolyte based direct methanol fuel cell that does not require air to operate. This is the first major innovation in fuel cell technology in over 20 years, where a repeatable, reliable non-PEM based system has been successfully introduced and demonstrated in sustained operation.

The prototype was self contained and sized to generate 8W of gross power, fuel cartridges were replaced multiple times and repeatable performance demonstrated. A video of the technology, markets that NEAH serves, and demonstration of the technology will be posted on YouTube, as well as on the company's website, www.neahpower.com, and NEAH has invited any interested parties to visit the company to see the system in operation.

"We are thankful to the Office of Naval Research for funding significant portions of this research. This technology is singular in that it can operate in places where air isn't available," Dr. Chris D'Couto, NEAH's President and Chief Executive Officer, noted. "This system can service many specialized markets, such as underwater and surface water manned and unmanned vehicles, as well as numerous aerospace applications, and will be the building block for fuel cell solutions for Hobie Cat and other key customers." NEAH fuel cells operate in both an aerobic and anaerobic manner. "Our micro fuel cells may eventually replace batteries for most uses," D'Couto said, "meaning that cost-efficient and 'green' technology is at hand to not only preserve the environment, but to provide nearly perpetual power to the military, manufacturers of almost any product that require an energy source, and to the millions of consumers who require energy on the go."

Remote-Controlled Cars Defy Gravity by Traversing Walls and Ceilings; Cars to be Offered to the Global Commercial Toy Market in 2010

MajicWheels Inc. (OTCBB: MJWL), a leading developer of gravity defying remote-controlled toy cars, announced today that the company has entered the final stages of prototype development. The company plans to offer MajicWheels to the worldwide commercial toy market in 2010.

"MajicWheels is going to offer functionality that children-and even adults-only wish that their current remote-controlled cars could achieve," said MajicWheels CEO Asher Zwebner. "While most cars just start spinning their wheels helplessly at the base of a wall, for MajicWheels that is where the fun begins. MajicWheels climbs walls and ceilings, leaving most remote-controlled cars behind."

"We are pleased that our prototype has entered the final development stages and look forward to offering our products in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes in 2010," Zwebner added.

LFBG News:

June 24 - Wal-Mart, Military Bases & New Marketing Reps Pave Way for Increased Distribution of Left Behind Games

Left Behind Games Inc. (OTCBB: LFBG), doing business as Inspired Media, announced that Wal-Mart has approved a test market in an undisclosed number of stores for Left Behind PC Games. The games should be available for sales in time for the Christmas shopping season. LFBG has also signed an agreement with Leading Points Corporation to market the games through military websites and on bases including the Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marine exchanges.

In addition, the company continues to hire marketing representatives to focus primarily on sales to over 300,000 churches in America alone. The company continues to receive positive reception to the most recent LEFT BEHIND branded game, Tribulation Forces, the sequel to the original game, LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces, which is the most widely distributed Christian PC game in history. In addition to the newest LEFT BEHIND games, Inspired Media has three Charlie Church Mouse Games for pre-school, kindergarten and early elementary players, as well as Keys to The Kingdom. See www.inspiredmedia.com & www.supportgoodgames.com.

The games have received approval by well-respected leaders in the Christian community such as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Lakewood Church, pastured by Joel & Victoria Osteen. Since the release of Tribulation Forces for worldwide distribution through mainstream markets on June 15th, new avenues for sales have developed quickly. With the expectation of additional outlets through Wal-Mart and Military Exchanges, and an aggressive marketing plan in place for new sales reps, LFBG is anticipating an explosive marketing surge starting within the next few months.

Overall, the sale of PC games has grown exponentially. According to a recent CNBC News report, even though we are in a recession, computer game sales continue to soar. PricewaterhouseCoopers, known for their astute analysis of business conditions and trends, predicts that the sale of software video games will reach $21.6 Billion by 2013 in the US alone. Lyndon conservatively projects that Christian games will capture at least 1% of that market in the US, or $210 million annually by 2013.

Lyndon says that in contrast to almost all other PC games, Inspired Media games encourage positive decisions and actions. Rather than the usual "winning" by using weapons and killing the enemy, players are rewarded when their characters use the power of influence to bring about good rather than destruction.

He believes that the approach incorporated in all of the Inspired Media games can help to counteract the violence affecting gamers who at times have acted out aggressively in real life. Due to the positive thought patterns encouraged by the games, he would like to be contacted by anyone in a prison ministry who might be interested in obtaining a grant to enable the games — along with the equipment to use them — to be placed in prisons for rehabilitative purposes.

Tribulation Forces has significant new features and improvements including maps and missions. The game includes 45 single player missions including tutorials and an all-new skirmish mode to be played alone or with up to seven friends online. There are 39 skirmish battle multiplayer maps and three different multiplayer modes of play.
