LOKI TO BRING INTERPLAY'S DESCENT 3(tm) TO LINUX

Latest Sequel in Hit Series Soon to Be Available for Linux


Tustin, CA.  --  June 2, 2000 -- Loki Entertainment Software, the
foremost authority on porting popular commercial games to Linux, today
announces an agreement with Interplay Entertainment Corporation, a
worldwide developer and publisher of award-winning entertainment
software, to bring the critically-acclaimed Descent 3(tm) to Linux gamers
by July 2000.

"Descent 3 represents a great blend of action and high performance 3D
graphics," said Scott Draeker, president of Loki Entertainment Software.
"This is a new kind of game for Linux, and one which our users are sure
to enjoy."

Descent 3, developed by Outrage Entertainment, is a fast-paced 3D action
shooter. It envelopes gamers in a frenetic 3D world of 360º of movement
as they pilot ships through 15 massive, detailed levels with multiple
objectives and sophisticated puzzles. Players experience intensely
furious subterranean shooting action, plus the thrill of soaring above
the surface, engaging in combat with enemy air and ground forces and
encountering an entirely new legion of devious robots and other enemies.

"We're excited to see the Linux market growing and we're very happy to be
a part of it," said Matt Toschlog, President of Outrage. Jeff Slutter,
who programmed the Linux version for Outrage, said, "We originally
released a dedicated server version of Descent 3 for Linux and are very
pleased that Loki will now bring to market the full client version."

The Linux version of Descent 3 will support the Rock 'n' Ride simulator
for the ultimate in gaming experiences. The Rock 'n' Ride moves a gamer
and their monitor up to 55 degrees for genuine interactive motion.

Descent 3  is fully optimized for Internet play with 16 players at one
time. It  has a suggested retail price under $30.00 (U.S. Dollars).
