The Final Episode of The Turok Series for the Nintendo 64 Arrives In Stores

6 September 2000

GLEN COVE, New York--(Press Release)--September 6, 2000-- Acclaim Entertainment (NASDAQ: AKLM), today announced that Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, the final N64® episode in its three-million-unit-selling Turok franchise, has arrived in stores.

Developed by the highly-regarded Acclaim Studios Austin, Turok 3 offers a compelling combination of storyline-driven gameplay and objective-based action. Game highlights include dual main characters, incredible cinematics, and unrivaled multiplayer modes.

Turok 3 also features ``living environments,'' a unique property that allows the environments to be in a constant state of movement, wholly independent of the main character's actions.

Turok 3's sound team has created a fully orchestrated musical score, digital speech and improved sound effects throughout the entire game for enhanced gameplay experience. Turok 3 is also available for the Game Boy Color.

``Turok 3 is the culmination of nearly seven years of dedicated Nintendo 64 development. With its release, Acclaim has continued to push the boundaries of what the machine is capable of, and delivers the most intense, story-driven chapter in the history of the series,'' said David Dienstbier, creative director at Acclaim Studios Austin.

``The game ends the Turok series not with a whimper, but with a bone crushing, ear splitting, dinosaur crushing, thermonuclear bang!''

The storyline for Turok 3 centers around ``Oblivion,'' a monstrous cosmic entity that consumes everything in its path. Oblivion desperately seeks a means to punch through the Netherscape that separates our world from the Lost Land, and the Lost Land from countless others.

The last shreds of the pure energy source that created our world and nearly wiped out Oblivion, are contained within the Light Burden that every member of the Turok lineage has carried. The death of the Turok mantle will signal the beginning of the end... the rebirth of Oblivion.

Once engaged in Turok 3, gamers will find themselves in the most graphically detailed environments ever seen on the N64. For the multiplayer buffs, Turok 3 includes over 48 unique maps and eight gameplay modes such as Blood Lust, Monkey Tag, Color Tag and Capture the Flag.

Turok 3 offers 24 incredibly innovative and upgradable weapons and over 40 cunning enemies with unprecedented artificial intelligence. Turok's most popular weapons make a comeback, and gamers can expect to see new weapons including the all-powerful Chest-Burster.
