GMX Media Secures European rights to One Must Fall: Battlegrounds

Game Features Online Multiplayer and Single-Play Modes

LONDON, UK (August
6, 2003) – GMX Media today announced that it has secured the European rights to
publish the 3D Fighting Game –
"One Must Fall: Battlegrounds"

"This
is a very exciting title, we are certain it will be a big hit with gamers across
Europe.” Commented Barry Leonard CEO of GMX Media.

"We are very
confident in GMX’s abilities to promote and distribute thIs title. " says Judy
Elam Business Manager and CEO of Diversions Publishing.

One Must Fall:
Battlegrounds is a 3D online multiplayer and single-player fighting game. OMF:BG
represents a serious change in the philosophy of making fighting games. Instead
of 2 players facing off in a small space, Battlegrounds features up to sixteen
simultaneous players in huge arena’s, fighting in team battles or all-out
brawls!

Our goal is to free
you, the player, from the restrictions of the past, and allow you to fight the
way you’ve always wanted to. Just like your favorite martial-arts movies, you
can go toe-to-toe with several opponents, use nearby objects as weapons, and
integrate terrain and hazards into your fighting strategy.

We’ve missed an
important detail: you get to do all this while piloting a huge robot.

Sometimes it’s hard
finding somewhere to park the thing, but overall it’s worth it for the insane
weapons systems and top-secret technology. There’s nothing quite like opening a
miniature black hole to consume your opponents, or shooting out a stream of
napalm the width of a 4-lane highway.

You pilot your ‘bot
using a neural link, so you don’t need to worry about an airbag going off in
your face every time a punch or kick slips past your defenses. And best of all,
you aren’t liable for any dents and scrapes – after all, your sponsors are
paying you to test their technology. Even if you get completely trashed, they’ll
replace your ‘bot for the next match. Could it get any better?
