Sooo, nobody wants to share knowledge and support the stock price by posting the positive news AOL E3 reports? Boy, in the old days it would've been done by an army of dedicated Fools, taking time off from channel checks. This is in jest, but things have changed both here and on the AOL board.

Anyway, great info on international releases from LS--

<<There has been little talk regarding THQ's international suite. This room had many of the future international releases. Based upon what I saw, the prospects for growing international revenues is very promising.

Here are some of the games. In some cases, I could not read my notes so the name of the game may be incomplete.

Extreme 500 (PSX) - Developed by Ascaron Gmbh for q3 release. It is a speed racing game which is sim based.

A "Superbike" game which is 85% complete developed by Interactive Entertainment for Q3 release in Europe only. This is an action/arcade style game. The representative indicated that he believes EA has the US rights to this game.

"Logical" for GBC developed by Conspiracy to be released 5/99. This game was 100% complete. This is a puzzle game similar to Tetris. International only, I believe.

Micro Machine 1 & 2 to be be release in 7/99. 2 games on one card.

Micro Machine V3 to be release 11/99. This will be the first CGB 3D racing game or at least with a 3D feel. It will not be backward compatible.

FIFA 2000 was 50% complete and is being developed by Tiertex for release in fall 1999.

Breakneck to be release 6/99. This was 95% complete. This game is being developed by Synetic Gmbh for release in Europe outside of Germany. This game was released in Germany under the name Nice II

X Beyond the Frontier for the PC. Scheduled for International release only at this time. This is a Space sim/strategy game.

Rent Hero? or something like this is an RPG PC game that is 95% complete. Developed by NEO.

World League Soccer for N64. A Q3 release that is 95% complete. Developed by Silicon Dreams.

Legend for the PSX. This will be released as Knights of Carnage in North America. This will be released 5/99. It was 95% complete. It is developed by Toka. This is a hack 'n slash type of game.

Unfortunately, they did not show any Star Wars games.>>

**OT** Re: Pokemon

Hi Wade,

I've actually been into Pokemon for a while (fun game, funny cartoons), and I actually was researching KIDE earlier this year when I found out they were the ones with the licensing agreement. KIDE was around 9-10 then (pre-split). Then, things at work got extremely busy, and I didn't get a chance to do any more investment research (or tracking) until late March. Depressing... I guess I would've still done nicely if I'd bought then, but I was just too bummed to get in then. Oh, well. Them's the breaks. :-)
