Funkitron Gets Totally Tubular
With Nostalgic PC Title “The 80’s Game With Martha Quinn”

Celebrity MTV personality to make
special guest appearance at Casual Games Conference in Seattle, Wednesday, July
18th, 2007

Funkitron, a widely respected
developer and publisher of casual games, today announced the development of a
new trivia title based on 1980’s pop culture, for which original MTV VJ, Martha
Quinn, will be the face and voice of the game. Covering several different genres
including movies, television, sports, politics, music, and celebrities, The 80’s
Game With Martha Quinn offers fans of the 1980’s a new way to relive that
exciting time period when brat packers, break dancers, new wavers, valley girls,
and mods ruled the world. In promotion of the game, Martha Quinn plans to make a
special guest appearance at Casuality, the Casual Games Conference, in Seattle
on Wednesday, July 18th, where she will be available for media interviews,
pictures, and autographs.

The 80’s Game With Martha Quinn
features three game modes: Free Play, Challenges, and Episodes, which include 50
special “Episode” games with themed questions. Martha’s real voice and likeness
will guide you through the game as you test your wits to become the ultimate
80’s trivia expert. Featuring more than 3,000 questions from the totally awesome
decade, The 80’s Game With Martha Quinn is a fun-filled walk down memory lane,
enhanced with high-score postings, bonus rounds, and an accompanying 80’s music
track.

“No one captures the nostalgic fun
of the 1980’s better than popular VJ Martha Quinn,” said Dave Walls, President
of Funkitron, Inc. “Rolling Stone magazine readers selected Martha Quinn as
"MTV’s Best-Ever VJ" and her professionalism and humor have certainly shined
throughout the development process. I know that casual gamers and fans of the
80’s will experience hours of laughter and enjoyment. Like Martha, the game is
like totally cool, fer shur.”

The 80’s was a revolutionary era.
Sandra Day O’Connor became the first female Supreme Court Justice, Geraldine
Ferraro was the first woman to ever run for Vice President of the United States,
and Martha Quinn was on the frontlines of video music revolution. “The staying
power of the 80’s is amazing,” said Martha Quinn. “Madonna, U2, and The Police
are packing stadiums, MTV’s still going strong, and I have my own Funkitron 80’s
video game. If only I kept my Sassoon jeans-oooh la la!”

The 80’s Game is licensed from
Intellinitiative Game Company, which produces the best-selling trivia board
game, The 80’s Game(R). The 80’s Game With Martha Quinn is set for release on
the PC in the third quarter of 2007. More information on the game may be found
