Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ:COOL), an innovative provider of video games and digital entertainment products for the mass market, today announced that a playable demo of Sandlot Games' Cake Mania will be featured in approximately 10,000 Nintendo DS Download Stations at major retailers nationwide this June.

Cake Mania DS is based on Sandlot Games' leading online game that has been downloaded 40 million times worldwide and earned both the iParenting Media Award and the 2006 Casual Game of the Year award from Yahoo Games.

Players assume the role of Jill who returns from culinary school to find her beloved grandparents' bakery closed down because a new Mega-Mart store opened in the neighborhood. Players must upgrade Jill's kitchen with state-of-the-art baking tools while serving her increasingly difficult customers so she can ultimately earn enough money to re-open her grandparents' bakery. Offering 84 levels of progressively frenetic baking, Cake Mania challenges gamers to simultaneously handle all aspects of customer service via the Touch Screen, from handing out menus and collecting cash, to baking, frosting and decorating cakes. As her customer base grows, so does the frantic pace of the bakery until Jill is a cake-making maniac!
