GAMING ZONE LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE, BROWSER-BASED RACING GAME Tacoma
Adrenaline Puts Gamers on the Road to Extreme Prizes Microsoft
today announced the launch of Tacoma Adrenaline, a free* browser-enabled game
on the MSN Gaming Zone (http://www.zone.com).
To celebrate the launch of this innovative racing game, the Zone is giving
away a variety of extreme sports gear in the Tacoma Adrenaline Tournament.
Sponsored by Toyota, Tacoma Adrenaline puts gamers behind of the wheel of a
Tacoma 4×4, navigating sharp curves and winding turns at breakneck speeds.
Tacoma Adrenaline requires a small download to play, but doesn’t require a
Zone membership to access the game. Created
by Redmond-based developer WildTangent (http://www.wildtangent.com),
Tacoma Adrenaline is a heart-pounding, single-player driving experience.
Players must race up a steep mountainside gathering bags of adrenaline in a
battle against the clock. The more bags gamers gather, and the farther up the
mountain they go, the higher their score. In
celebration of the launch of this unique game, the Zone will be giving great
prizes including extreme outdoor equipment like a Perception Eclipse Kayak,
Kokatat Gore-Tex Front-Entry Drysuit, Arc’Teryx Bora 95-Pack, and a Novara
Bonanza AL 2000 Bike, as part of the Tacoma Adrenaline Tournament. To be
eligible to win these prizes, players must be registered Zone members.
Individual tournaments will be held on certain days, and various prizes will
be awarded to winners of each tournament. For

Tournament, visit: http://www.zone.com/adrenaline/
