Warthog
Makes Tiny Toons Fair Game

Cheshire based games developer Warthog,
has announced its latest projects, a line of games based around Warner
Brother's 'Tiny Toon Adventures' license which will include the company's
first Game Boy Advance title.
Warthog will develop three products with the Game Boy Advance title
being joined by a PlayStation and Game Boy Color incarnation. Conspiracy
Entertainment plans to publish all three titles in the US beginning
with the Game Boy Color version in the first quarter of 2001.
'Tiny Toons Buster's Challenge' is the Game Boy Color product. Playing
as Buster Bunny you must fight through Montana Max's goons in an arcade
platform game in order to rescue your friends. The game boasts 40
levels, a variety of sports based weapons, and a horde of crazy bad
guys and features high color graphical cut scenes.
The yet to be named PlayStation product is a puzzle-based adventure
game. The player controls each of four main Tiny Toon characters and
must solve puzzles and riddles in an attempt to find the objects necessary
to build a Time Machine and go back in time to complete their homework.
The Game Boy Advance product, whose working title is 'Tiny Toons Wacky
Stackers', is an innovative puzzle game featuring many of the Tiny
Toon characters. Players must hatch Dodo eggs by skilfully stacking
coloured eggs together using any means necessary to become the best
Wacky Stacker in the land! Featuring two single player modes and up
to four players linking up for simultaneous play.
The new Tiny Toon products serve to strengthen Warthog's existing
portfolio of games for children, that includes 'Tom & Jerry in Housetrap'
(PlayStation), 'Tom & Jerry in Mouse Attacks' (Game Boy Color) and
'Asterix: The Gallic War' (PlayStation/PC).
Vice President Phil Gaskell said "These are exciting games for us
as developers. The license has a great flexibility and many appealing
features. The characters are especially fun to work with, the humour
in the cartoons has quite an adult edge to it at times and consequently
we have been able to maintain that in the games. Warner Brothers are
a very encouraging licensor and are the best we've worked with.
"Tiny Toons is a great license to kick off our Game Boy Advance development
on," said Ashley Hall, Managing Director and CEO of Warthog. "The
new machine is an excellent games platform and Tiny Toons translates
perfectly on it," he continued.For more information please contact
