  LOS ANGELES, CA, Jul 22 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Paramount Digital Entertainment and Legacy Interactive announced today
that they are developing titles based on the popular Paramount Pictures'
films "Clueless," "Mean Girls" and "Pretty in Pink."

    In Clueless: The Game, the player takes on the part of Cher trying to find
the perfect boyfriends for all her pals. Players will need to figure out
what kind of guy their friends want by noticing what clothes these
potential suitors wear and what sort of interests they have. Once Cher
knows what they want, she will have to pick out the right elements to make
the perfect man for them. Players will have to be quick! Love waits for
no one!

    Mean Girls: High School Showdown allows players to take on the role of a
student trying to restore balance to the many cliques in their high school
and to end the reign of the terrible "Plastic clique," the prettiest girls
and the meanest of the mean. To do this, players will need to unite the
cliques by using a few tricks of their own. Players can choose to take the
high road by using kind words and revealing important truths at the right
time, or use the Plastic's own evil tricks against them, by using rumors,
pranks and put downs. A mix of both might go a long way, too!

    The classic 80s hit movie "Pretty in Pink" is known as a movie that
defined a generation, and now players will have the chance to relive the
story in an all-new entertaining game format. Through a series of
beautifully rendered scenes, players will need to solve a variety of fun
and challenging visual puzzles in order to experience the memorable story
about love, friendship, the clash of social cliques and how to rise above
them. Andie, Duckie, Blane, and the rest of the unforgettable characters
from both "the wrong side of the tracks" and not, return to play out the
romantic fairytale love story, but this time with a dramatic difference...
their fate will be put in the hands of the player.

    "Paramount is focused on creating quality interactive entertainment based
on evergreen motion pictures. With these games, we will not only reach the
core casual games audience, but engage new audiences with our properties,"
said Sandi Isaacs, Senior Vice President, Interactive & Mobile, Paramount
Digital Entertainment. "We are confident that our collaboration with
Legacy Interactive will be a great success."

    "Legacy Interactive's vision for these fan favorite films is one that
seamlessly takes each story into the gaming world," said Ariella Lehrer,
President and CEO of Legacy Interactive. "Our goal in collaborating with
Paramount Digital Entertainment is to create games that longtime fans of
the films will appreciate, but also games that challenge and entertain the
casual gamer."
