VOICE-OVER-NETTM MEETS CLEARVOICETM IN NOVALOGIC GAMES
Armored Fist(r) 3 and Delta ForceTM 2 to Ship With Free Labtec Microphone

CALABASAS, CA (August 30, 1999) NovaLogic's user-friendly Voice-Over-Net technology will soon be even easier to use, thanks to a partnership with Labtec, Inc. that will put high-quality headset microphones into boxes of Armored Fist 3 and Delta Force 2.

For a limited time, both games will ship with Labtec's LVA-7330 ClearVoice Head Mic, a microphone designed specifically to meet the needs of PC gamers. The LVA-7330 features Labtec's speech recognition-certified NCAT2TM microphone and a patented headband that can be worn comfortably in three positions (over the head, behind the head, or around the neck).

Voice-Over-Net is a proprietary technology that lets gamers speak to each other rather than typing messages in games on NovaWorld TM, the company's free Internet gaming service. Because Voice-Over-Net is built into the games that support it, configuration is automatic; players don't have to install additional software or enter complex Internet addresses before they can speak to each other. The technology debuted in May as part of F-22 Lightning 3 and will be built into all of NovaLogic's future games. "Labtec is proud that the LVA-7330, a member of Labtec's ClearVoice family of products, has been chosen to be bundled with NovaLogic's Armored Fist 3 and Delta Force 2," said Frank Romero, Labtec's director of marketing.

"Voice-Over-Net and the patented NCAT2 microphone will provide gamers with crystal-clear voice communication over the web." Armored Fist 3, a simulation of the Army's M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank, is scheduled for release in Late Summer 1999; and Delta Force 2, the sequel to NovaLogic's critically acclaimed game based on the elite anti-terrorist force, will be in stores this Fall. Both games feature large-scale multi-player via NovaWorld, with action that emphasizes cooperative play and the advantages of real-time voice communication via Voice-Over-Net.
