For immediate release:

ROCHESTER, MN -- Songbird announced today the immediate availability of Total
Carnage for the Atari Jaguar. Total Carnage is the classic arcade game
originally ported by Hand Made Software and licensed from long-time game
publisher Midway.

In Total Carnage, one or two players assume the roles of Captain Carnage or
Major Mayhem in a tongue-in-cheek frantic assault on the dastardly forces of
General Ahkboob. There is an unending -- often overwhelming -- number of
enemies pursuing the heroes at all times, but thankfully there are also many
powerups, bombs, and even missile strikes to assist players in their quest.
Player strive to rescue civilians and collect valuable items such as keys,
dogtags, and more.

Songbird founder Carl Forhan spoke enthusiastically about the release,
saying, "This is a great port of a classic arcade game which I know Jaguar
fans have been anticipating for many years. I'm thrilled to finally be able
to publish this never-before-seen final release candidate version of the
game." Total Carnage is now available for sale through the Songbird website.
Orders are expected to begin shipping next week.
