Abandon Mobile, announced the release of ''NBC Sports Real Golf''. Unveiled for the first time at The American Century Championship Celebrity Golf Tournament in July, ''NBC Sports Real Golf'' brings the thrill and excitement of golf to mobile users everywhere. One of the most realistic mobile golf game at the moment will make its debut in North America on Cingular Wireless and other J2ME carriers.

Just like real golf, ''NBC Sports Real Golf'' - the mobile game - offers hardcore and casual gamers an accessible title that is easy to pick-up, but hard to master. With photorealistic images, a variety of club selections, and the ability to set variable course conditions, such as wet and slow or firm and fast, ''Real Golf'' allows you to personalize your experience for a more challenging game play.

''We are thrilled to bring our loyal sports and golf fans a challenging golf game that they can take with them wherever they go," said Gary Quinn, NBC Sports' director of business development.

''Golfers and gamers will find an exceptionally high-degree of realism with 'NBC Sports Real Golf,' which offers a fully immersive experience that is unlike any other golf title on mobile today,'' said Jamie Ottilie, President and COO, Abandon Mobile. ''Real Golf is unique in that it allows users to customize their experience, unlock hidden elements, and even challenge friends to beat your lowest score!''

Developed and published by Abandon Mobile, which holds the exclusive global license for NBC Sports mobile games, Real Golf is perfectly suited for gaming and sports enthusiasts of all ages. In addition to personalization settings, gamers can take advantage of a 'tell-a-friend' option made available through Cascada Mobile's TAG referral distribution technology.
