Famous Looney Tunes Characters Take Racing Into Orbit This Fall.
LOS ANGELES, CA - May 11, 2000 - Strap on your helmet, it's going to be a Looney Tunes ride! Infogrames, Inc. (Infogrames) announced today that it's bringing everyone's favorite Looney Tunes characters to life in Looney Tunes: Space Race, an unearthly arcade racing game for Sega Dreamcast. The game, which reaches most retail stores this fall, will be the first Looney Tunes title brought to the new console.
The Acme(tm) Corporation, maker of the universe's most sought after products, is the sponsor of the wildest race of the new Mil-Looney-Um, Looney Tunes: Space Race. The game's objective is to achieve top prize -- a lifetime's supply of ACME products! Up to four players will take on the role of six different Looney Tunes characters and their outrageously unique rocket-powered space vehicles including Bugs Bunny(tm) in his Carrot Racer and Elmer Fudd(tm) in his Sabre Jet. Inspired by the Looney Tunes cartoon universe, players will race through graphically rich, intricately detailed environments and interact with other characters in genuine Looney Tunes style, placing them in the middle of a lifelike Looney Tunes' cartoon.
"The Dreamcast technology provides the perfect backdrop for the classic cartoon mayhem that takes place in Looney Tunes: Space Race," said Larry Lee, director of product marketing for Infogrames. "Players of all ages will marvel at the crisp, brilliant graphics of the environments and the fluid, realistic gameplay. Participating and interacting on this level with the Looney Tunes Universe is any kid's dream."In the only hover-craft style racing game in outer space with licensed characters for the Dreamcast, players will race their characters through 12 unique Looney Tunes inspired tracks such as the Off World City, the Asteroid Belt and Planet ACME. Each track will feature unique environmental gags, challenging jumps, tunnels, shortcuts and traps players can use to help them get ahead in the race. In addition to the six playable characters, there are seven more popular Looney Tunes characters that make special appearances, including Foghorn Leghorn(tm) who stars as the event announcer and Lola Bunny(tm) as the trackside babe.
Developed by Infogrames' Melbourne House, Looney Tunes: Space Race will be available this fall at most major retail outlets.
