Cruis'n Exotica Ships

Midway has shipped Cruis'n Exotica for the Nintendo 64. The game features three different gameplay modes, thirty vehicles, and fourteen courses set in exotic locations such as the Amazon and the lost city of Atlantis. To date, the Cruis'n franchise has sold close to 2 million copies on the Nintendo 64. The company will ship Cruis'n Exotica for the Game Boy Color on October 31.

"The Cruis'n franchise has been extremely successful and continues to bring the excitement of its arcade games to home console systems," said Helene Sheeler, vice president of marketing for Midway. "The Cruis'n Exotica designers traveled the globe collecting video footage of exotic locales, which they turned into incredibly sharp 3D images using Midway's state-of-the-art reality mapping technology."
