GAME DESCRIPTION
(From Operation 3DFX)

Strap yourself in and hold on for dear life in the challenging off-road racing game, Baja 1000 Racing, announced today from Red Orb Entertainment, a division of Brøderbund Software, Inc. The next-generation 3D driving game for PC, under development by Trilobyte, Inc., pits man and machine against one of the most brutal courses on earth and features fast-action gameplay coupled with the physics and attention to detail of a simulation. In Baja 1000 Racing, you attempt not to just win the race, but to survive it.

"Players will feel the rush of the competition as they not only compete against other drivers, but attempt to conquer what is arguably the world’s most extreme race," said Ken Goldstein, Brøderbund’s vice president of entertainment and general manager of Red Orb Entertainment. "They’ll face the unknowns of a thousand mile course, experience the freedom of the open ‘go anywhere’ environment, and the challenge of surviving the fury of the Baja 1000."

Red Orb Entertainment has signed an exclusive license for the Baja 1000 through SCORE International, the organization which produces and sanctions the Laughlin SCORE Desert Series. The Series’ flagship event is the SCORE Tecate Baja 1000. The license includes the rights to reproduce the actual Baja 1000 course.
"The Baja 1000 is no Sunday drive in the desert," said Sal Fish, CEO and president of SCORE International. "We will be working closely with Red Orb Entertainment to ensure that Baja 1000 Racing captures the actual bone-jarring experience of the real race."

In Baja 1000 Racing, drivers feel the power of huge engines, finely tuned controls, and the precision of prototype suspensions via an incredibly realistic driving model which allows six degrees of freedom and 4-wheel independent physics. The action is displayed via a state of the art 3D engine delivering stunning, high polygon count graphics at a high, sustainable framerate.

Competitors conquer a wide variety of terrain and weather conditions, including mud, dirt, sand, and snow, as they traverse a course modeled on the 1998 race covering the entire length of the Baja California, Mexico peninsula. Players choose from a selection of Class 1 open wheel buggies or super high performance Trophy Trucks, and race up to fifteen computer controlled racers or fifteen human opponents via the Internet.

Baja 1000 Racing will first be shown publicly at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Atlanta on May 28-30. The Red Orb Entertainment booth number is 3830, Main Floor, West Hall. The game is expected to ship in Winter 1998. More information on Baja 1000 Racing can be found at its exclusive Web site at http://www.baja1000racing.com.
