LOS ANGELES, CA - November 11, 1999 - Crave Entertainment announces a series of games for the Sega Dreamcast system, due to ship throughout 2000. Owners of the popular console system will experience the best in skating, fighting, and hack-n-slash next year, courtesy of Crave.

"Our 1999 Dreamcast line-up has had an impressive response," said Holly Newman, Executive Vice President of Publishing at Crave Entertainment. "Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Aerowings have established Crave as a leading publisher for the next generation platforms."

The company plans to ship three games in time for next year's holidays. These include "Tony Hawk Pro Skater," a game based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Boasting some of the most fluid, detailed animation of any skating game to date, "Tony Hawk Pro Skater" redefines the digital skateboarding experience. With an intuitive yet complex control scheme, major skaters and licenses, and the biggest name in pro skateboarding, "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" promises to be the sports title to beat next year.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Game (as-of-yet unnamed)
Forget "pro" wrestling, UFC offers real full-contact competition, now for the Sega Dreamcast system. A league formed in 1993, the UFC boasts sold-out brutal no-holds-barred competitions, and retains a flawless safety record. Starting next Christmas, gamers everywhere can join in the action. The digital version of UFC will offer all of the current and upcoming UFC fighters and locations.

Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm
Draconus continues the tradition of the swords and sorcery medieval combat that was established with developer Treyarch's "Die by the Sword." Offering a detailed universe of 15 levels, complete with waterfalls, fire, smoke, and fog, Draconus has carved out a well-rounded fantasy universe only possible on the Dreamcast's advanced hardware.
