Sept. 8, 1999--Infogrames North America, a leading publisher of interactive entertainment software, today announced the shipment of Expendable(TM) for the launch of Sega's(R) new next-generation console, Dreamcast. Using the advanced technology of the Dreamcast system, the 80's reminiscent, nonstop action thriller, brings heart-pumping, adrenaline-filled combat to today's hardcore gamers.
Expendable brings a cloned space marine that is dropped into unfamiliar territory to life.

As the battle progresses, gamers have the ability to fire over 15 forbidding weapons while journeying through a spectacular 3D environment. In addition to the technologically advanced graphics, dramatic lighting effects enhance the already suspenseful scenes. Other key features include cutting edge 3D graphics, over 20 levels of action combat, 2-player simultaneous co-operative mode, direct sound and EAX support.
Developed by Rage Software, the estimated street price for Expendable is $ 49.99 and can be found in all major retail outlets including Walmart, Babbages, Electronics Boutique, CompUSA, Target and others.
