| SAN JOSE, CA (December
8, 1999) Mindmaker, Inc., announced today that its award winning Game Commander
software will be bundled with Hasbro Interactive’s (NYSE: HAS) MechWarrior 3. The
software will be shrink-wrapped side by side and available exclusively through Tech Data
Corporation (NASDAQ: TECD), offering customers two valuable software packages at a very
low cost. “We are very excited about bundling Game Commander with MechWarrior 3,” said Peter Ridge, General Manager for Game Commander. “MechWarrior 3 is based on one of the best-selling software franchises in history and is an ideal companion to Game Commander’s verbal interaction capabilities. Users can command their BattleMechs® to acquire a target by saying, ‘Acquire Target’ and the game will respond ‘Targeting’ as it locks onto the enemy’s Mech. This is what immersion is meant to be.” “Game Commander is a very exciting product in the world of gaming,”
said Peter Matiss of Hasbro Interactive. “The addition of voice command capabilities
to MechWarrior 3® adds a new level of immersion and interactivity to the game.” “By bundling these two popular products together and offering
them at one low price, we are offering resellers and retailers a great opportunity for the
holiday selling season,” said Maria Johnston, Vice President of Software Product
Marketing at Tech Data. # # # # Mindmaker, Inc. was founded in 1996, with the mission to become the
