GMX MEDIA TO PUBLISH TESSERACTION GAMES TITLE
LONDON, UK (January 15, 2003) - GMX Media today announced that it has
secured the Pan-European rights to publish Tesseraction Games alternate
history naval game, Enigma: Rising Tide.
Enigma: Rising Tide is a groundbreaking concept melding cinematic pacing
with immersive graphics and historical accuracy to produce the worlds first
alternate history, naval warfare vehicular shooter game. Enigma was
initially created solely as an online game, however after discovering the
title and its massive potential, GMX entered into an agreement with the
developers to produce a FULL retail, single player version of the title.
The size and scope of the Retail version is stunning and includes a huge
number of Patrols as well as comprehensive Submarine and Surface Command
Campaigns. In all more than 60 distinct missions are available to be played
from a large variety of Ships and Submarines. Enigma is also one of a very
few games that can be played completely by voice command giving the player
an added element of immersion. In keeping with the original intent behind
Enigma, Tesseraction Games has agreed to include a free 30 day trial of
Enigma: Rising Tide Multiplayer when it is launched later this year.
"Class, class and more class, this is something very special indeed"
Commented Barry Leonard COO of GMX Media. "Even the soundtracks have drawn
the attention of the Grammy Awards. This game puts to shame all that have
gone before it and it does not end there. Every 6 months or so updates will
be released, from missions in the world's other oceans to air campaigns. We
have made available two demos so gamers can see why we are so excited about
this title."
"We are very pleased to be working with the team at GMX Media," said
Tesseraction Games President Kelly Asay. "Having a company like GMX in our
corner is a tremendous advantage for a start-up development house. I know
that our audience in Europe will be very pleased with our choice."

· Three dynamic factions: United States, Imperial Germany, or the League of
Free Nations.
· accurate WWII craft including submarines, corvettes, destroyers,
battleships, aircraft and more.
