Hasbro Interactive Introduces First Game for Nintendo 64
Company Taps Into New Market of Gamers With Glover N64
ATLANTA--May 27, 1998--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--E3Expo/Hasbro Interactive will unveil an original title being
developed for the N64 platform at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. With a lovable character leading the way, Hasbro
Interactive invites N64 fans to enter the mystical 3D world of wizards, potions and good versus evil in Glover, the company's
first N64 title.
''We are thrilled to be working with Nintendo on our first N64 game, Glover,'' said Tom Dusenberry, president of Hasbro
Interactive. ''Not only is the main character, Glover, irresistibly funny, but the game play is so unique,'' added Dusenberry.
''We think Glover will steal the hearts of game players everywhere this fall.''
The Story of Glover
Far away in an enchanted land lives a wise old wizard, who is charged with maintaining order in the kingdom and caring for its
primary power source - the magic crystals. In order to effectively fulfill his obligations he must create strange and powerful
potions, all made possible with the help of his magical gloves.
One day, in an experiment gone awry, a huge explosion caused the wizard to lose his gloves - one catapulted clear out of the
castle windows down to the village below and the other one, not so lucky, landed in the evil cauldron. Unfortunately during this
catastrophe the seven magic crystals were dislodged from their homes on top of the castle's turrets. Mustering up the last bit of
energy the crystals transformed themselves into seven rubber balls to soften the fall. Without the crystals the kingdom will be
doomed forever.
Not to fear!! Glover is here! A bit stunned from the wild explosion, the good glove, aka Glover, sets out to find the lost crystals
- now rubber balls - and bring them back to the castle. Little does Glover know that his evil twin glove has risen from the evil
caldron with one mission in mind -- to foil Glover's good deeds!
If The Glover Fits...
As the player in this mystical adventure, you must help our friend Glover find the balls and guide them safely through seven
magical worlds and return them to the castle. Players must use the balls to help solve puzzles and advance from level to level -
over 20 levels in all. Throw the ball to hit special switches, dribble the ball up stairs, transform the ball and glove with magical
spells to avoid danger. Glover will grab you like no other character you've come across--this unique adventure game is sure to
offer hours and hours of fun and will be available this fall for N64 and the PC.
