Simutronics Announces Alliance with AT&T WorldNet Service

World's Most Popular Multiplayer Online Games now featured on AT&T WorldNet Service

Rockville, MD - (November 6, 1997) - Simutronics Corp. today announced that AT&T WorldNet® Service will provide with access to Simutronics’ entire line of popular multi-player games. Through links on AT&T WorldNet Service "Play" page (www.att.net/play), Simutronics will offer its company flagship title, GemStone IV, and other popular online games. AT&T WorldNet Service members will receive special incentives, including a month of free game play from Simutronics.

In addition to GemStone IV, other popular offerings include DragonRealms, Modus Operandi, and the award-winning CyberStrike action game for which a sequel will be introduced in 1998.

Simutronics joins the growing roster of high-quality gaming companies on the AT&T WorldNet Service "Play" page which was unveiled this year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The page provides a variety of single-player and multi-player online games, ranging from sports and fantasy titles to strategy-based and role-playing adventures.

"The AT&T WorldNet Service 'Play' page features access to the best that online gaming has to offer," said Dan Odette, General Manager, Interactive Services for AT&T WorldNet Service, "Now, AT&T WorldNet Service members will be a click away from Simutronics’ medieval role-playing, futuristic action, and fast-paced detective games."

"Working with AT&T enables nearly a million more people to enjoy our games," said Simutronics executive vice president Neil Harris. "They’ll join the community of adventurers who have made GemStone IV the most frequently played massively, multi-player game online."
