SCi Entertainment Group and Carlton International have entered into an agreement giving SCi exclusive worldwide video and computer game rights to cult favorite sci-fi series
Thunderbirds. SCi plans to create games for next generation consoles as well as multi-player internet gaming experiences. All of the games are to be released in conjunction with a re-release of a series of digitally restored
Thunderbirds episodes. "SCi's investment in the
Thunderbirds video game once again illustrates the massive pulling power of the show. Everything points to another enormous success when
Thunderbirds returns to our screens in the autumn of 2000. What a great way to start the millennium," said
Thunderbirds creator Gary Anderson. Carlton International acquired
Thunderbirds last year and has already signed up more than 20 product licensees.
