Empire Interactive, a wholly owned subsidiary of Silverstar Holdings (SSTR) announced that it has signed an agreement to bring its puzzle favourite Pipemania to mobile networks through THQ Wireless. The classic title will be released worldwide excluding Japan.

Clive Kabatznik, CEO of Silverstar Holdings, commented, "As part of our evaluation of Empire Interactive prior to its acquisition, we thought that there was significant hidden value in its intellectual property and strong back catalogue. This transaction with THQ Wireless validates this assumption. We have focused on repurposing some of Empire's classic older games for new markets such as mobile phones and casual downloads and we anticipate further exploitation of this valuable intellectual property in the future."
