NFL Quarterback Club '99 For N64 Ships Today

Last Year's Number One Football Game for the N64 Features New Sports Engine

GLEN COVE, N.Y., November 10, 1998 -Acclaim Sports, a division of Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKLM), a leading worldwide interactive entertainment company, announced that NFL Quarterback Club '99, the highly anticipated sequel to the top selling Nintendo 64 sports game of 1997, ships to retailers nationwide today.

Featuring an all-new 3D sports engine, NFL Quarterback Club '99 has the most incredibly detailed and superbly animated players to ever be featured in a sports video game. Nationally known NFL commentators, Mike Patrick and Randy Cross provide play-by-play and color commentary and senior NFL official, Jerry Markbreit, calls all the infractions on the field. Thanks to Acclaim Studios proprietary N64 sound compression technology Quarterback Club has over 45 minutes of speech, five times the amount in last year's game.

NFL Quarterback Club '99 is the perfect balance of beauty and brains with all-new artificial intelligence designed with the help of New York Jets Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis and motion capture by the Jets wide receiver Dedric Ward. The game is once again endorsed by three-time NFL MVP Brett Favre.

"NFL Quarterback Club '99 is the closest representation of the NFL in a video game that I have ever seen and I am proud to be associated with it," said Favre. "Last year's game was number one for the Nintendo 64, and this year's version is so much better, I have no doubt we'll come out on top again."

NFL Quarterback Club '99 is supported by national television, major market radio, print, on-line advertising and in-store merchandising, including point-of-purchase displays and videos highlighting NFL Quarterback Club '99's gameplay and TV commercial. Additionally, as part of Acclaim's sponsorship of Channel One, NFL Quarterback Club spots are featured in schools across the country. The NFL Quarterback Club '99 TV campaign, which features spokesman Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers offensive line, kicked off this past weekend on ESPN's Sunday Night Football and ABC's Monday Night Football. Spots will continue to run throughout November and December during NFL broadcasts on ESPN, ABC, and CBS, as well as cable networks and syndicated series.
