ASPYR MEDIA, INC. SHIPS TOM CLANCY’S SPLINTER CELL™ FOR MACINTOSH®

AUSTIN, Texas (September 29, 2004) - Aspyr Media, Inc. announced today that Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell™ for Macintosh ® is shipping. The game was licensed from Ubi Soft® Entertainment and conversion was done by i5works.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell™ introduces a new type of game to the line-up, a 3rd person stealth action game with cyber-terrorism, shadow agencies and covert operations on the menu. The title has sold more than 8.9 million copies worldwide since its launch in 2002.

When two CIA agents mysteriously vanish in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, the NSA’s secret sub agency, Third Echelon, deploys Sam Fisher–its most capable splinter cell operative–to recover them. Fisher soon uncovers a deeper conspiracy: a plot that threatens to destabilize the world order and spark nuclear conflict.

Fisher, like all Third Echelon Splinter Cells, is granted the use of the Fifth Freedom–unprecedented latitude to safeguard America’s security by any means necessary. Acting alone, he uses terrorists’ own tactics against them. Should he fall to enemy hands, the U.S. government will disavow any knowledge of his existence.

No more time for negotiations and diplomacy. The time for decisive action has come. Strike from the darkness… Fade away. You are Sam Fisher, you are a Splinter Cell.

Splinter Cell features never seen before stealth moves such as a diving summersault, ledge hang, pipe climb and highly interactive environments. Undertake 14 missions through four countries, with more than 100 different characters. Infiltrate high-security strongholds (including CIA headquarters), neutralize anyone who opposes mission goals (from hackers to special forces soldiers), seize critical intelligence, destroy threatening data and equipment, and disappear without a trace.

Splinter Cell is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB and will soon be available at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $49.99, or visit www.aspyr.com
