`Dan Gilbert's Triazzle' Ships to North American Retail Outlets; Head Games Publishing Brings Award-Winning Board Game to the PC and Mac.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 25, 1998--PC and Macintosh gamers can challenge their minds and reward their senses with mind-bending puzzles and the sights and sounds of the world's most beautiful tropical rainforests when Head Games Publishing launches "Dan Gilbert's Triazzle."

Based on the board game, which has sold more than 4 million copies, the beautifully animated puzzle game will hit North American retail outlets the week of November 16, 1998.

"Dan Gilbert's Triazzle" challenges players to piece together triangular puzzle pieces with partial images of insects and creatures found in the rainforest, including butterflies, turtles and frogs. As the pieces are correctly linked, the various creatures come to life. When the entire puzzle is completed, the screen becomes animated with jumping frogs, fluttering butterflies and realistic sounds of the jungle.

"Puzzle games such as `Dan Gilbert's Triazzle' hold an appeal to players of all ages," stated Dan Hammett, vice president of Head Games Studios. "Triazzle's wide variety of puzzle combinations and fun facts about the rainforest and its inhabitants will provide hours of entertainment for the entire family this holiday season."

"Triazzle" includes varying levels of difficulty as well as a junior option for children. In between games, players can access interesting and educational facts about frogs, wildlife, tropical habitats and a bibliography of resources about the rainforest.

The game also includes free bonuses such as desktop pictures which allow users to create eight different types of colorful stationery adorned with toucans, lizards and a variety of other creatures. "Triazzle" also offers a demo of the highly addictive puzzle game "Shanghai: Dynasty," which includes four game modes as well as Mah-Jongg.
