Crave's "Sno-Cross Championship Racing" Slides Onto Store Shelves Everywhere

The Ultimate High-Octane Winter Sport Makes Its Way To The Dreamcast for the First Time

Los Angeles, CA - December 4, 2000 - Crave Entertainment began shipping its "Sno-Cross Championship Racing" for the Dreamcast today. "Sno-Cross Championship" is already a best-selling game available for the PlayStation(R) game console and features all of the true-to-life snowmobile racing action possible for one of the fastest, most demanding, intense snow sports ever developed.

"Sno-Cross Championship Racing" features twelve of the most advanced racing sleds ever created, straight from Yamaha's Japanese headquarters. With speed and physics to match the intense look of the snow-speeders, "Sno-Cross" offers extreme sled racing in three different leagues located all over the world. In all, there are ten racing locations, including the Olympic city of Nagano, the always-beautiful Aspen and even the Russian naval ship graveyard, Murmansk, each designed specifically for fast snowmobile racing action.

The game's track environments are customizable with different weather and time-of-day settings. As racers work their way from the World Leagues in the 500cc sled models to the 700 cc class, the ultimate in professional snowmobile racing, they unlock hidden sleds and locales. Of course, sleds take on dynamic damage of different kinds with necessary upgrades and repairs along the way. Racing isn't everything either - players perform up to fourteen different crankin' tricks.

In addition, "Sno-Cross Championship Racing" includes an easy-to-use track editor to change or make new tracks and build unlimited arrays of racing challenges. Players can save these tracks on a memory card and play split-screen with a friend.
