'Planet Of The Babes'

Only the King of Action Can Rescue a Planet of Beautiful Babes.

No One Said Being Duke was Easy!

E3, LOS ANGELES, May 11, 2000 - Babes. Lots of them in desperate need of help. That's all the argument necessary to recruit gaming's undisputed King of Action into saving a planet as Infogrames Inc. unleashes Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes for the PlayStation(r) game console. Developed by n-Space, Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes is slated to hit stores in May, and features white-knuckling combat through interactive, high-resolution 3D environments. With scores of new weapons, enemies and advanced artificial intelligence, Duke is in for the fight of his heroic life.

"Planet of the Babes shoots high and scores a true milestone release in the Duke Nukem franchise," said Martin Currie, Director of Marketing for Infogrames. "Planet of the Babes delivers mature, compelling game play that pushes the envelope with no-holds-barred combat, high-resolution graphics, and an innovative Duke survival system that replaces the typical health system found in all other shooters and, lest we forget, lots of babes."

In Earth's distant future, an alien race has launched a full-scale invasion; sinking the human population into anarchy and terror. The aliens then embark on their hideous primary objective: wiping out the male population so they can enslave women for use in their hybridization program. However, some women managed to escape and form the Unified Babe Resistance (UBR).

But the meager UBR defenses are being annihilated by a powerful new alien weapon, and with all hope nearly lost, they turn to Earth's legendary hero, Duke Nukem. Using a time portal device, the UBR track down Duke and make his choice very simple: help them or there will be no chicks in the future. Without hesitation, Duke answers, "Let's Rock."

Features include:

Innovative "Ego-based" health system for Duke Nukem, who will gain and lose Ego based on his actions in the game.

24 fully detailed levels including 14 single player levels, four challenging training areas, and six multiplayer levels, all packed with explosive secret areas.

High-tech inventory including Infra-red goggles, Jetpack, Teleporter, Gas Mask and Duke's high-tech Shades Operating System.

Arsenal of weapons including Blaster, Flamer, RPG, and Grenade Launcher; plus Duke's new official weapon, the golden Desert Eagle. Each weapon also includes an auto-aiming option.

Over 20 Deadly new enemies including Mutant Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Orangutans, Hunter-Killer Babes, Hoglodytes, plus perennial favorites such as Pig Cops and Octabrains.

Mission-based game play featuring more than 25 real-time cinematic sequences to advance the plot. Also featuring un-lockable 'blooper' outtakes.

Intense first-person perspective, multiplayer support for two players, and includes three modes of split-screen viewing.

Improved controls! Planet of the Babes offers jumping, climbing, swimming, jetpacking and zero gravity exploration. Duke will also "auto-action" simple tasks such as opening doors or climbing short ledges, making game play more user-friendly.

Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes is now available at a suggested retail price of $49.95. Additional information can be found on the World Wide Web at http://www.duke-nukem.com
