Software publisher Strategy First, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Silverstar Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSTR), and Valve Corporation, a leading entertainment and technology studio, are pleased to announce a multi-title distribution deal that will deliver a collection of Strategy First’s front line titles and new releases via Steam, Valve’s online platform for digital content distribution and management. Strategy First is the first entertainment software publisher to move forward with Valve’s Steam, which connects nearly 6 million gamers worldwide.

“S.C.S - Dangerous Waters,” a groundbreaking naval simulation game due for arrival in December 2005, will be the first Strategy First title made available to millions of Steam gamers.

Emanuel Wall, Product Manager at Strategy First said, “Throughout the years, Strategy First has delivered great games from many developers while navigating the evolution of genres, technology, and distribution mechanisms - whether it’s moving from 2D to 3D, or from floppy to Steam.“

“Strategy First has a proven reputation for delivering high-quality products, created by independent developers, to gamers around the world,” said Gabe Newell, Valve’s founder and president. “We’re delighted to offer these titles as the Steam audience expands to nearly 6 million gamers.“

Future announcements outlining this multi-title deal will be announced in the weeks to come.
