NEWS 1of6 LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 1999--THQ Inc. (Nasdaq/NM:THQI.O) takes on both sides of the law with the upcoming release of "Felony Pursuit(tm)," an action-packed, urban-driving thrill ride of the near future. Developed by Polygon Studio of Paris, this fast-paced car-chase adventure for the PC transforms players into police officers on the beat or criminals on the lam in a thrilling cat-and-mouse adventure. "'Felony Pursuit' takes place in the early 21st century, set in a city with too many vehicles, too many criminals and too many laws to enforce," said Michael Haller, senior vice president of THQ. "The pressure cooker that our urban roadways has become finally blows in this futuristic setting where cops and criminals run amuck." "'Felony Pursuit's' ultra-realistic traffic patterns mirror those of every major city in the world," said Therry Proto, product development manager, Polygon Studio. "If the cops catch up with you in the center of town at 8 a.m., you'll not only be maneuvering over sidewalks through bumper-to-bumper traffic, but you'll be squinting away the rising sun. We have focused on creating a complete experience, not just another action driving game." A cool head during high-speed pursuits and fast reflexes are the keys to dominating "Felony Pursuit," as players learn the streets of a city designed by European architects and urban planners. Complicated traffic patterns, congestion, traffic lights, pedestrians, roadblocks and a last-minute tip from the all-important police band radio can mean the difference between a bust and a Mafia victory. Rendered in an unmatched 3-D environment at up to 60 frames per second, "Felony Pursuit" features more than 100 miles of traffic-infested urban sprawl spread throughout seven islands dispatched on more than 15 vehicles to control, realistic physics and 38 heart-stopping missions. "Felony Pursuit" is scheduled to ship in winter 2000. THQ Inc. develops, publishes and distributes interactive entertainment software worldwide for a variety of hardware platforms including PC CD-ROM, and those manufactured by Nintendo and Sony. The THQ Web site is located at thq.com. The statements contained in this release that are not historical facts may be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in such statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, demand and competition for the company's products, and other risks and uncertainties detailed in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

I'm loving all the press releases today. Looks like the lineup overview is geared toward my mom too... Roadrash is just a "motorcycle game" in the first section... you have to read all the way down to the individual title description before you get any idea there are weapons involved. And Knights of Carnage, Marc? Nothing to worry about... it's just a king's daughter for pete's sake. Thought this was funny: "Disney/Pixar's Tiger Woods PGA TOUR(R) 2000"
