FREE GAMES AT JAGFEST '99

March 30, 1999

For immediate release:

ROCHESTER, MN -- Attend JagFest '99. Get a free game. It's that simple.

At least, that's the message coming from Carl Forhan of Songbird

Productions, the organizer and promoter of the event.

Each paid adult admission to JagFest '99 will include a coupon for up to

$3 off a single item purchase from the Songbird Productions table. A

variety of factory-new 2600 and 7800 games will be available for under $3,

as well as a number of current and new games for the Jaguar and Lynx and

other Atari merchandise at normal retail prices. Simply present your

coupon at the Songbird Productions table, and you can walk away with a

free 2600 or 7800 game, or use the coupon to get a discount off of other

merchandise. *

Sponsors are also being lined up for JagFest '99, to be held at the

Holiday Inn South in Rochester, MN, on June 18, 1999. Songbird

Productions, Go Atari, Hozer Video Games, Jerry G. Classic Gold Video

Games, and Atari Video Club have all agreed to sponsor JagFest.

More sponsors are being contacted at this time, and it is hoped that

several companies and game shops will be in attendance at JagFest '99.

* - One coupon per item, up to $3 off the retail price. No refunds if the

entire face value of the coupon is not used. Coupon valid only on June 18,

1999, and while supplies of merchandise last at the Songbird Productions

table. Coupon may not be combined with any other offer. You must purchase

an adult admission to JagFest '99 to receive this coupon.
