Greystripe to offer Sega mobile games

Ad-supported mobile games distributor Greystripe announced a deal with Sega to offer three classic game titles through its Catalog Platform partners. Sega will monetize their mobile game content via Greystripe’s AdWRAP advertising network, which includes brands like Diet Coke, Yahoo!, New Line Cinema and eBay.

Under the agreement, Sega and Greystripe are launching the following popular mobile games:

  • Sonic Jump – Go vertical with Sonic the Hedgehog.
  • Afterburner II – A classic SEGA arcade favorite, where players control a fighter jet and combat swarms of supersonic enemy fighters.
  • Golden Axe – what can I say. Golden Axe for mobile is free! Save the land of Yuria from the evil forces of Death Adder!

Commenting on the announcement, Greystripe’s CEO Michael Chang said: “Our partnership with them [Sega] is a huge win for our end users and demonstrates that Greystripe is able to bring the biggest brands to the mobile gaming audience.”
