Los Angeles, California, May 16, 1996 -- ThrustMaster, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMSR) and ***net Systems Corporation today announced at the Electronic
Entertainment Expo their intention to co-develop force feedback game control products for the computer entertainment market. The first product,
scheduled to be
introduced in October 1996, will be a cutting-edge force feedback driving wheel. The innovative technology built into this next-generation
driving wheel will
simulate the feel of the road with startling realism. This relationship with ***net will enable ThrustMaster to enhance its leadership
position as a manufacturer of
the most innovative input control devices for PC-based entertainment.
***net, founded in 1988, is an industry leader in force feedback hardware and software solutions providing a wide variety of product
applications in the fields of
virtual reality, medicine, arcade, and robotics. ***net has recently been awarded strategic patents in next-generation force feedback
technology.
ThrustMasters Formula T2 driving control system has already captured the market place due to its quality, durability, and realistic
experience, said Stephen
Aanderud, ThrustMaster President and CEO. Our mission is to continue as the technology leader in entertainment based input devices. With
***net, we have set
in place a definitive plan to maintain this status not only in the driving wheel category, but with other force feedback input devices as well.
Chuck Jacobus, founder of ***net, states: We wanted to partner with a company who shares our future vision. We are pleased that ThrustMaster
also shares
with us a common direction for bringing the future vision of *** realism to PC entertainment software products.
ThrustMaster will be working closely with software developers and publishers to enable the force feedback driving wheel to simulate authentic
forces such as skids,
collisions, terrain, and other driving conditions within the exciting new driving software titles expected to ship this holiday season.
ThrustMaster, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and markets input devices that take users of computer entertainment software to new heights
bringing realism
and true functionality to their *** experience.
