AMERICAN LASER GAMES BRINGING REAL MOTION PICTURE ACTION GAME SOFTWARE INTO THE HOME MARKET
Games to be displayed at IBM and 3DO Booths at CES Show
Albuquerque, NM - June 3, 1993 - American Laser Games, the innovator of real motion picture video arcade games, is bringing its cutting edge live action games into the home market this summer on CD-ROM software for PCs, Sega CD, and the upcoming 3DO platform. The company will present this revolution in home interactive software at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago, June 3-6.
American Laser Games will demonstrate the CD-ROM version of "Mad Dog McCree"TM for PCs at IBM's EduQuest Booth #6300, McCormick North. The company will also display action "Mad Dog McCree" images which utilize American Laser Games motion picture action software at 3DO Booth #354, McCormick East.
"American Laser Games is the industry leader for real motion picture action games in arcades, and we are leading the way in full motion picture action for home games," said Robert Grebe, president of American Laser Games. "Our game software provides the player with non-stop live action, not just snippets of motion pictures dropped into computer-generated scenes."
"Mad Dog McCree,"TM the smash hit arcade game, will be introduced to the home market for PCs by IBM's CD-ROM Publishing Group, EduQuest. They will handle the distribution of the game software, which will be available in retail stores in June with a suggested price of $59.95. "Mad Dog McCree"TM will be available for August release on Sega, and part of the 3DO multimedia launch in October.
American Laser Games is entering the home software market this year after bursting onto the arcade scene in 1990 with a revolution in the coin- operated video amusement industry - real motion picture action. Through a combination of advanced computer programming, video laser discs, and multimedia technology, American Laser Games allows the player to become part of a real-life action-adventure movie and interact with the characters on the screen. The advancement of CD-ROM technology is enabling the company to bring their cinema action games from the arcade into the home market.
American Laser Games plans to bring other real motion picture action arcade games to the home CD-ROM market. Those games include "Mad Dog II, The Lost Gold,"M the sequel to "Mad Dog McCree;" "Space Pirates,"TM a futuristic action adventure in outer space; "Gallagher's Gallery,"TM a dual-player shooting gallery game hosted by stand-up comedian Gallagher; "Who Shot Johnny Rock?,"w a gangster detective game; and "Crime Patrol,""" which has the excitement and tension of on- the-street law enforcement.
American Laser Games president Robert Grebe will be available for interviews at the Summer CES Show on June 3 and 4. To make interview arrangements, contact Gail Rubin at (505) 265-7215.
