Infogrames off to a strong start for the holiday season
With the rush of new PC games hitting retail stores for the holiday season, titles from Infogrames, Inc. are already standing out from the pack. The Company’s RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 and Unreal® Tournament 2003 ranked #1 and #4, respectively, on the list of top-selling PC software and Dora the Explorer: Backpack Adventure ranked #1 on the Home Education charts, for the week ended October 19th, according to NPDTechworld.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, the sequel to the smash hit RollerCoaster Tycoon that started the Tycoon craze, landed at the top of the charts with less than a full week at retail. Unreal Tournament 2003, the hotly anticipated follow up to 1999’s “Game of the Year” award-winning Unreal Tournament, continued its strong showing since its release at the end of September, ranking #4 on the charts. Unreal Tournament 2003 was the #1 selling PC game for its first two weeks in release and #3 for the week ended October 19th, excluding expansion packs. On the PC Home Education charts, Dora the Explorer: Backpack Adventure maintained its stronghold on the #1 slot, a position it has held for five weeks.
