Contributed By: Fernando Mosquera

News Release

LOS ANGELES -- Konami of America, Inc., leading developer of electronic entertainment for the home video game and coin-op markets, will showcase two new titles for Sega(R) Dreamcast(TM) at E3. Both Air Force Delta(TM) and Castlevania(R) Resurrection are designed to take advantage of the super console's 128-bit performance and advanced graphics features, and to deliver leading-edge game play, complete with extremely detailed environments and fast action-packed adventures.

"We've totally re-engineered our most popular games to take advantage of Sega Dreamcast," said Tim Dunley, Konami's vice president of marketing. "The new characters and gaming environments are more detailed than ever before and the action moves seamlessly, making an entirely new gameplay experience."

Airforce Delta

As a pilot of a mercenary organization, gamers are contracted with a number of strategic objectives. After missions are completed, players advance to more challenging assignments and aircrafts.

Airforce Delta features more than 30 different international aircraft ranging from the classic F-4 Phantom to the sleek, state-of-the-art F-22 Raptor to the formidable MiG 29. Throughout the game, players must make a number of strategic decisions to carry out each mission successfully and must strike each key target before moving on to the next level. Users are provided with complete mission briefings and de-briefings, along with tactical evaluations. In replay mode, the game will record the entire mission and play back the action from various camera angles and run fast-cut scenes similar to a movie. Players can also edit the replay and save the information for later viewing.

Airforce Delta for Sega Dreamcast is scheduled for release in Q4 '99.

Castlevania Resurrection

In the continuing saga of Castlevania, Dracula has again returned to threaten the mortal world. Joining evil forces with Dracula is the dark Countess of Castlevania, along with a number of foul creatures of the dead, to gain absolute domination of the world. But before total doom and gloom overcomes humanity, ancestors from the Belmont ancestral tomb are resurrected to battle Dracula's horrifying curse.

Set in a magnificent gothic environment, players are transported deep into the dark world of Castlevania. The heavy, fast-paced combat action keeps gamers alert for the hoards of Skeletons, Werewolves and Mummies that lurk within the walls of Dracula's castle and unexpectedly strike to kill without a moment's notice. Also, intuitive controls keep players' adrenaline pumping as they whip and slash their enemies back to Hell.

Castlevania Resurrection for Sega Dreamcast is scheduled for release in Q4 '99.
