START YOUR ENGINES TWO NEW ARCADE RACING TITLES HEADED TO SEGA SATURN

ATLANTA -- (June 19, 1997) E3 Booth #1546 --
Hang on for the ride of your life. Sega® of America announced today the debut of two new Sega RacingTM titles for Sega SaturnTM -- "Manx TT SuperBikeTM" and "Sega Touring Car ChampionshipTM." Both arcade hits will be available this fall exclusively for Sega Saturn.

Sega Racing prides itself on creating the most realistic racing action possible. To make "Manx TT SuperBike" and "Sega Touring Car Championship," Sega game developers went to the tracks to film thousands of images, record hours of sound and consult with champion drivers to truly understand what it is like to be in the actual race. Sega game designers used that information, along with state-of-the-art 3D graphics and CD-quality sound, to create racing experiences like none other.

"The directive at Sega Racing is to make the games real, whatever it takes, " said Bernard Stolar, chief operating officer, Sega of America. "The research that went into the creation of the games shows our dedication to the racing experience and, ultimately, to the consumer."
