November 2^nd, 2002 (12:00am) - Infogrames upcoming title Zapper, gathering much excitment, gets a Nov 5th release date.

In this action-packed, addictive character-action game, Zapper, is on a mission to save his brother, make his way through four interactive worlds, each with dangerous hazards he must avoid, eggs he must capture, and all the while meeting both friends and enemies that help and hinder his progress.

In a great twist on classic "avoid-em up" gameplay, Zapper has an offensive weapon: the Zap! The zap is a powerful electrical charge which Zapper can send from his antennas, eliminating or stunning enemies and gaining him access to the power-ups and treasures of the worlds he moves through. This zap, plus fast-footed skills and superior timing, will help Zapper to conquer all the worlds and survive the final showdown with Maggie, the diabolical magpie queen.

Developed by Blitz Games, Inc., Zapper is rated "E" for Everyone, and carries an approximate retail price of $29.99 on Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2 and Xbox, $19.99 on PC and $39.99 on GameCube. For additional information regarding this title, visit www.onewickedcricket.com.
