Infogrames' *NSYNC Get to the Show Game Lets Fans See if They Have What It Takes to Be in Charge of the Band

- - - -

BEVERLY, Mass., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- *NSYNC fans can now hit the road with their favorite band! The *NSYNC Get to the Show(TM) game for Game Boy(R) Color from Infogrames, Inc. lets players travel with their favorite band and help them get ready for their concert.

You're on the road with the #1 band in America and there's a lot to do before a show! With the *NSYNC Get to the Show game, it's your job to keep the band happy by helping them get ready for the big night. Grab the keys to the limo and run errands, keep hotel guests quiet so the guys can get a good night's sleep, make their favorite burgers and even play a quick game of "hackey sack" to warm up before the show! And just like regular guys, the band has errands they need to do too! Take them to the post office, gym or florist and help them get it all done!

Keep your fan rating high throughout the game and you'll unlock the ultimate reward — creating your own *NSYNC show! Put together some cool dance moves, pump up the music, set the mood with lighting — watch the band perform your show!

"*NSYNC is the hottest band in the country and we're thrilled to work with them again to deliver another game their fans can enjoy," said Petrina McPhee, director of kids marketing for Infogrames' Beverly studio. "Their fans would love to be on the road with the guys and with the *NSYNC Get to the Show game, they can feel like they really are."

Developed by Stunt Puppy Entertainment, Inc., *NSYNC Get to the Show is rated 'E' for Everyone and is available at most major retail outlets for an estimated retail price of $29.99. *NSYNC Get to the Show for Game Boy Color is also compatible with Nintendo(R)'s Game Boy(R) Advance.

Currently available at retail is the *NSYNC Hotline Fantasy Phone & CD-ROM Game which includes five games that allow fans to connect with the band one- on-one. Developed with input from the band members themselves, this game allows fans to experience the band's real voices, view never-before-seen video footage and learn new trivia. The interactive phone acts as the game's controller and allows players to receive special voicemail messages from the band and to customize it with their name, birthday and bedtime. The *NSYNC Hotline Fantasy Phone & CD-ROM Game is currently available at retail for an estimated price of $39.99.
