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.
