The Nightmare Stone Press Release

CALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2000

THQ Inc. (Nasdaq: THQI) today announced an agreement with Eidos Interactive to publish "Tomb Raider"(R) for the Game Boy(R) Color.

Developed by Core and licensed through Eidos Interactive, THQ will send the lofty "Tomb Raider" protagonist, Lara Croft, to new heights on the Game Boy Color system. "Tomb Raider" for Game Boy Color is scheduled for release in spring 2000.

"'Tomb Raider' is one of the strongest franchises in interactive entertainment," stated Michael Rubinelli, vice president, product development, THQ. "We are delighted to add a property of its magnitude to THQ's proven Game Boy Color library."

"As the top third party Game Boy Color publisher, THQ is an ideal candidate to publish the Tomb Raider franchise," stated Jeremy Heath-Smith, global head of development, Eidos Interactive. "We look forward to new success for 'Tomb Raider' on the Game Boy Color system."

Making its debut on the Game Boy Color, "Tomb Raider" hopes to be a huge success on the hand-held system. Based on the extended "Tomb Raider" adventures, in "Tomb Raider" for the Game Boy Color, Lara Croft sets out to find and protect the "Nightmare Stone." If our heroine fails to find the stone before deviant treasure hunters do, Quaxet, the evil god trapped in the "Nightmare Stone" will escape and run havoc over the Aztec, Mayan and Inca lands. "Tomb Raider" for Game Boy Color is a side-scrolling adventure filled with puzzles, pitfalls and more than 50 Lara-laden cut scenes. "Unlike other 3D games that have been adapted to Game Boy, Tomb Raider doesn't come off as a cookie-cutter side-scroller that just so happens to have a recognizable hero plopped into it," said Nintendo Power Magazine, May 2000. "Instead, Lara's latest adventure is Tomb Raider through and through, keeping the franchise's trademark moves, action, style and puzzles, and even Lara's auto targeting in tact."
