Advanced Gravis Releases Mac GamePad for the Macintosh

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- April 23, 1993 -- Advanced Gravis, makers of
the MouseStick II for Macintosh and high-quality game controllers and
audio products for the PC, is giving Macintosh users a new weapon for
their gaming arsenal: The Mac GamePad.

The Mac GamePad is designed to work with virtually all Mac games providing
keyboard control. Its thumb operated controller pad can be used as a mouse
for "point 'n click" games. Its keystroke option can be used for
multi-directional control of keyboard only games. Four independent fire
buttons offer either single-shot or turbo-fire for higher scores and
pinpoint accuracy. The GamePad's controls can be customized for many
popular games, and a 'Flip' feature accommodates either right or
left-handed players.

Installing the Mac GamePad is easy, even for new Mac users: simply plug the
GamePad into an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) port and run the automated
software installation program. The Mac GamePad has an Application Aware
feature that automatically sets up the control and button functions
whenever a game is played.

"We expect the Mac GamePad to enjoy the same great success as the
MouseStick," said Ron Haidenger, Macintosh product manager at Advanced
Gravis. "The Mac GamePad's easy installation into all current desktop and
laptop Macs and smooth control will allow it to set the standard for
arcade game controllers on the Macintosh, just as the MouseStick II has
for Mac joysticks."

The Gravis GamePad for the Macintosh features Gravis' acclaimed design and
quality and is backed by a 1 year 'No Nonsense' Warranty. Compatible with
all ADB Mac models, Mac SE, Mac Classic, Mac LC, Mac II, Mac Quadra,
Performa, Centris, and PowerBook series, the Gravis GamePad requires
System 6.07 or System 7 and is System 7 savvy. The suggested retail price
for the Gravis GamePad for the Macintosh is $49.95 U.S..
