CALABASAS HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2000

THQ Inc. (Nasdaq:THQI) today announced the release of "MTV Sports(TM): T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX(TM)" for Game Boy(R) Color.

Surpassing both skateboarding and snowboarding in total number of participants, BMX is arguably the most exciting and popular action sport around. This riding adventure is available today at retail outlets nationwide.

"With over 8.2 million BMX riders in the United States alone, this popular action sport will make a great addition to our extensive Game Boy Color  holiday line-up," stated Alison Locke, executive vice president, North American Publishing, THQ.

In "MTV Sports: T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX" for Game Boy Color, players control one of six BMX riders, including the reigning King of Dirt Champion, T.J. Lavin, as they perform in three distinct disciplines: Dirt, Vert and Street. Developed by Hand Held Games, "MTV Sports: T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX" features six unique environments; riders can test their skills mastering separate land and air tricks including tailwhips, crooked grinds, can-cans and more. This action-packed game will also be coming to PlayStation in early 2001.

T.J. Lavin is one of the most charismatic athletes on the alternative sports circuit. His 1999 and 1997 gold medal wins at ESPN's X Games reached 76 million homes. T.J. is a champion on the DK Dirt Circuit and the American Bicycle Association King of Dirt tours. He is a vocal pro-education and anti-drug advocate serving as a great role model for teens and kids.
