EDISON, N.J., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pre-heat the oven and have the
icing close at hand as Majesco Entertainment Company (Nasdaq: COOL), an
innovative provider of video games for the mass market, and Sandlot Games
Corporation, creator of the Cake Mania franchise and the world's leading
developer and publisher of casual games, today announced that Cake Mania 3 for
Nintendo DS(TM) has shipped to retailers nationwide. With more than 100
million PC downloads and 650,000 units sold worldwide of the handheld
versions, the Cake Mania series has proven to be a fan favorite that keeps the
bakery chaos fresh in each iteration.


In Cake Mania 3, disaster strikes baker Jill Evans as she prepares for her
wedding day. A mysterious "time bender" has crashed into the bakery and caused
her loved ones to disappear. To rescue them in time for her ceremony, Jill
must travel through time and use her cake-making magic on everyone that she
encounters -- or risk losing her friends and family forever!


Cake Mania 3 puts players in Jill's shoes as they serve 30 hilarious new
customers, including Medieval Wizards, Ancient Egyptian Mummies and more. The
game's 84 levels of baking bedlam stretch through six different themed
environments that each includes its own unique cake style. In addition,
players can customize Jill's kitchen with 50 unique upgrades including new
appliances like the Fridge and Hot Drink Machine. For the first time in the
series, Cake Mania 3 also includes three new mini games that will further
challenge a baker's speed and accuracy.


Developed by Digital Embryo, Cake Mania 3 is rated E for Everyone and will be
in stores this week for the suggested retail price of $19.99. For more
