OMC GAMES DIVISION TO RELEASE "THE ASSASSIN" FOR THE ATARI JAGUAR 64-BIT GAME CONSOLE

AUSTIN, TX, October 21, 1998 -- OMC Games Division announced that they will begin production of "The Assassin", which was previously to be released on the Atari 8-bit, for the Atari Jaguar CD game console. With the upgrade in hardware, "The Assassin" will allow for more spectacular effects and a higher level of graphical and audio intensity.

With James Garvin moving to Japan, unforeseen problems arose in the development of the Atari 8-bit version. "I was having some major difficulties getting the antiquated RF system of the Atari 8-bit to work with Japanese coaxial connections as well as technical problems that resulted during my travels from the U.S. Needless to say, I had to make some difficult decisions," stated James Garvin, owner of OMC Games Division. Though, the change in platforms has not extinguished efforts to bring to life an Atari 8-bit version. "There will be an Atari 8-bit version, but it will most likely have to wait until I get back to the States."

"The Assassin" is the prequel to "Orb Of Bengazi" which is based on the upcoming futuristic cyberpunk world of "BloodCity", a role playing system to also be released 3rd Quarter 1999. This action/RPG features Chicago detective, Michael Steele, as he searches for the murderers of his brother, but what he finds is a tangled web of intrigue and death which takes him all over the world. For those looking forward to "Orb Of Bengazi", this game should not be missed.

"The Assassin" will be released under the Hellified Games label of OMC, with the project headed by James Garvin, and music composed by up-and-coming musician, Arthur Lauritsen. OMC Publishing is also planning to release a soundtrack sometime around the release of the game. More news and screenshots will become available over the next couple of months.

OMC Games Division is a sole proprietorship based in Austin, Texas and publisher of HieroGraphix Game Journal. Other game titles under development include "Age Of Darkness" and "Orb Of Bengazi".
