SAN JOSE, Calif.-SEPTEMBER 13, 1993--The bone-snapping sport of football
just hit a new level. Accolade, a leading publisher of sports simulations,
today announced its agreement with the National Football League Players
Association (NFLPA) to use the names and statistics of the real pros in
Unnecessary Roughness, a new football simulation set to release this fall.
Featuring Super VGA graphics, this product will be the most graphically
intense and aggressive PC football game available, and will offer
extra-large rotoscoped and scaling player graphics in a rotating 3D
stadium. It will also be the only football simulation to feature Infinity
Cam, a new graphics technology that enables players to view the game from
any angle. Unnecessary Roughness will be available in October for IBM PC
and compatible computers at a suggested retail price of $59.95. A version
for the Sega Genesis will be available in December for $69.95.

Unnecessary Roughness players go head-to-head against real NFLPA pros in a
ferocious battle of outrageous tackles, impossible one-handed catches,
brutal headbutts, and flying helmets. This high-impact football game is
filled with intense moves and realistic animation set in a stunning 256
color Super VGA graphic environment (640 x 400 or MCGA graphics 320 x
200). Choose from Thurman Thomas, Ronnie Lott, Barry Sanders, Reggie
White, "Neon" Deion Sanders and the rest of the NFLPA. Unnecessary
Roughness is a one or two-player competition or a two-player cooperative
game.

Players can compete in exhibition games, play complete seasons against all
the pro league cities, or even customize their own league and take their
favorite team through the playoffs and the championship. Full season team
and player stats are updated all the way through to the championship. With
Unnecessary Roughness, players can view the game from any location with
infinite camera angles. This graphics technique allows gamers to get onto
the field and into the huddle. Players can also import and export players
from the 28 major football league cities, view close calls with instant
replay, and view an automated highlight recap after the game.

Unnecessary Roughness provides players with a number of ways to customize
their game including the ability to create the ultimate dream team. Using
the team design editor, computer coaches can change the name, number and
vital characteristics of each player, as well as instantly set the colors
for the home and visiting uniforms of each team. Players can even
customize their own team logos. For computer coaches whose forte is play
design, Unnecessary Roughness offers an extensive playbook and
construction feature where players can unleash their strategic imagination
and create unlimited offensive and defensive plays. Unnecessary Roughness
also provides players with a variety of pre-designed plays and playbooks.

This realistic football game is complete with the voice of football
sportscaster, Al Michaels, who calls the play-by-play. Michaels has been
honored with many awards in his career, including the coveted Emmy, and
most recently was voted the most popular professional football
play-by-play announcer by the readers of the San Jose Mercury News. His
recognizable voice can also be heard in Accolade's popular HardBall IIl
and soon in Brett Hull Hockey.

"I wanted Unnecessary Roughness to be the kind of football game I like to
play, physical yet strategic" said Danny Pisano, the producer of the game.
"Unnecessary Roughness brings gamers onto the grass with the real pros.
This is everything football is supposed to be."
