More Than 500,000 Units Of PlayStation Version Shipped Worldwide Fox's Three-in-One Sensation Now Pushes Sega Saturn and Windows(R) 95 to Amazing New Heights

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The wait is over for Sega and Windows(R) 95 CD-ROM gamers as Fox Interactive unleashes the breakthrough DIE HARD TRILOGY gaming experience for Sega Saturn and Windows 95 CD-ROM on Jan. 21. In just three months, DIE HARD TRILOGY for PlayStation has shipped more than 500,000 units worldwide and is being touted by gamers and critics as one of the greatest movie-inspired video games of all time -- topping charts everywhere. Now DIE HARD TRILOGY pushes Sega Saturn and Windows 95 to the outer limits of gaming excitement.

"The breakthrough success of DIE HARD TRILOGY for PlayStation has set the stage for Sega Saturn and Windows 95 fans, who can now experience all of its action and intensity," said Jon Richmond, president, Fox Interactive. "With three games in one, DIE HARD TRILOGY combines the best of the shooter, search and destroy and driving genres that are so popular with hardcore gamers."

In DIE HARD TRILOGY, fans experience three totally different, thrill- packed games playing John McClane (a cop with a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time) as he takes on a highly trained team of international terrorists. Each adventure delivers amazing depth, palm-sweating realism and detail packed into 48 levels.

First, put your search and destroy skills to work as you fight and shoot your way through a high-rise wired to explode in DIE HARD. The battle begins down in the parking garage as you make your way up, floor-by-floor, searching hallways, office suites, even a grand ballroom to save hostages, discover hidden bombs and build your arsenal of weapons.

Then, use your best marksmanship to gun down bad guys who've taken over Dulles Airport in DIE HARDER. There's no time to check in your bags as danger comes at you from every angle inside the highly detailed terminal, out on the airport runway and even in the Virginia countryside, where armed terrorists wait in ambush.

In DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE, drive above, below and through crowded New York City streets filled with hidden bombs. Get in, sit down, buckle up and hang on as you slam on the accelerator in a race against the clock that challenges your most "offensive" driving skills with 10 different vehicles.

DIE HARD TRILOGY is the first Sega Saturn title to pack three distinct adventures on one amazing disc -- bringing new dimensions of action and entertainment to Sega's next generation video game system. All of DIE HARD TRILOGY's key elements are available in both the Saturn and Windows 95 versions, including the title's signature "obstacle fade out" technology, in its first-ever appearance on Saturn and Windows 95.

This unique programming dissolves obstacles such as walls, posts and corners in real time to ensure continuous action and an unobstructed view of your character, John McClane. In another Saturn breakthrough, two of its exclusive peripherals, the Stunner and Arcade Racer, can be played on a single title -- for the maximum "Die Hard" experience.

Rated M for gamers ages 17+, Fox Interactive's DIE HARD TRILOGY is set to invade Sega Saturn and Windows 95 CD-ROM on Jan. 21, 1997 at an estimated shelf price of $54.98.
