FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TONIC TROUBLE; IT’S CHAOS ON EARTH AND THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN 
	SAVE US IS A TINY PURPLE ALIEN!!!!

LONDON - (September 5th 1999) ECTS –The earth is going crazy and it’s all because of Ed, the little purple extra-terrestrial who, returning from an exploratory inter-galactic voyage, accidentally dropped a small, mysterious can on our planet.  Result:  the vegetables are becoming hysterical (tomatoes with pitchforks mean anything to you?), the rivers are filling themselves with Sangria, flaming toast are flying through the air!  And the worst part is that the mysterious can has landed between the hands of Grogh the terrible Hellish alcoholic who will use it to become the master of the universe!  Ed is sent to Earth to repair the damage he has done and the adventure begins!

Tonic Trouble is a game unlike anything you have seen before, with a subtle mix of action, adventure, humor, madness and suspense.  Through 11 different unique realms (from the ski slopes to the QG of the killer vegetables, passing through the cocktail world) you will have to prove your agility (fly with a bow-tie, jump across molten lava with a pogo stick), courage (swim in the abyssal depths with a jar on your head, ski on a frisbee along snow-covered ravines) and wisdom in order to solve the numerous puzzles which will hinder your path!
Thankfully, Ed is a slightly schizophrenic alien who knows how to transform himself when necessary into an angry tomato, a wooden crate, or even a terrible Grogh, or Super Ed, the muscled counterpart of our little purple alien.

•	A unique and crazy cartoon style:  Ed and his universe were designed by Michel Ancel, creator of the famous Rayman
•	Gripping and varied action: running, swimming, flying, hiking, jumping with a pogo-stick, sliding, jumping, shooting with a pea-shooter, etc...
•	Devilish enigmas and puzzles to be solved to work one’s brains.
•	Rich, varied and evolving game play throughout the game: the main character wins new powers when he completes his various missions
•	Enemies coming out of everywhere and anywhere: tomatoes with pitchforks, hysterical carrots, burning toasts, a robot-suitcase, machiavellian mummies... In all, over 50 wild and crazy 3D characters all autonomous and guided by remarkable Artificial Intelligence.
•	11 worlds of amazing and varied graphics 
•	A unique music adapted to each realm.

The DVD-Rom version includes: 22 minutes of MPEG video, 12 videos with music from the game (in other words, 60 minutes of additional music!) and perfect sound quality with Dolby Digital AC-3 5.1.
