    NEW YORK, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Atari, Inc. ( ATAR),
 one of the world's most recognized brands and a third-party video game
 publisher, today announced that it will distribute five new titles with 1C
 including You Are Empty, Death to Spies, Dawn of Magic and Fantasy Wars for
 Windows PC and Swashbucklers for Windows PC and PlayStation(R) computer
 entertainment system in the U.S. this fall.
     "1C has long been known for innovative gameplay and storylines," said
 Robert Stevenson, Vice President of Business Development, Atari, Inc.
 "We're thrilled to kick-off our 1C relationship with such compelling and
 original titles."
     You Are Empty is an intense FPS (First Person Shooter) game that offers
 players an alternative approach to the history of the late 1950's taking
 place in the Soviet Union. Set in this alternate universe, Soviet
 Scientists attempt to create super humans capable of spreading communism
 around the world. However, something goes wrong when they lose control of
 their creation. As a result, whole cities start getting infected, and
 entire towns become overrun by mutants and monsters. Fighting against these
 mutants, the main hero tries to gain an understanding of what's happening
 around him and save the day.
     Death to Spies is a third-person stealth action game set during World
 War II. As a soviet counterintelligence service officer, players will have
 to complete various missions in the heart of enemy territory, including
 stealing important documents, eliminating enemy officers or officials,
 kidnapping, and sabotage.
     In the first action role-playing game (RPG) where players must rely
 solely on magic, Dawn of Magic will throw fans in the midst of a medieval
 world on the brink of destruction. Players will either choose to protect
 the medieval world from total annihilation, help aid in its destruction, or
 attempt to remain neutral in the struggle with almost limitless spell
 possibilities.
     Set in a fantasy world rife with war, Fantasy Wars is a hex-based
 tactical strategy game with three interwoven campaigns and an in-depth
 storyline. In a world of Humans, Orcs, Dwarfs and Elven races, players will
 participate in castle sieges, reconnaissance operations all in
 sophisticated three-dimensional worlds. Experience epic real-time battles
 from afar or zoom in to see individual numbers in the ranks.
     In Swashbucklers, players will become the captain of a privately owned
 vessel able to sail freely from the southern coasts of the United States to
 the North Caribbean and engage in naval combat and strong on-foot gameplay
 while slashing through various locations and confronting enemies. With an
 advanced role-playing system, gamers will be able to develop and master
 skills, weapons and moves while upgrading your ship at the same time.
     You Are Empty, Death to Spies, Dawn of Magic, Fantasy Wars and
 Swashbucklers will arrive on shelves this fall 2007. More information about
