They Said Central Park Was for the People ... They Lied

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Atari, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATAR) , one of the world's most recognized brands and a third-party video game publisher and distributor, today announced the launch of the official website for the upcoming action survival game Alone in the Dark, featuring a series of fascinating and intriguing facts, legends and stories which reveal the strange and unexplained happenings which have dogged the history of New York's magnificent municipal parkland, Central Park. Visitors to the site www.CentralDark.com will begin a journey into the murky past of New York's backyard and see how the park's chequered history has influenced and inspired the production of Alone in the Dark.

With new facts and park lore scheduled every two weeks up to launch of the game in May, visitors can already learn a great deal of incongruous facts drawn from historical documentation, newspapers, and the work of scholars, all of which suggests there's more than meets the eye behind the design and perfect preservation of this enormous parkland in the city that never sleeps. The implication is that considerably different motives were at work than just the desire to create a grand public parkland for the people of New York. Here's just a taste of the questions posed:

    -- Why was the soil that was used to construct Central Park not from New
       Jersey as recorded, and according to microchemical analysis not even
       from America?
    -- What were the suspected political motivations behind the complete
       decimation of Seneca village, Manhattan's first African American
       community, during the park's construction?
    -- In a city with debts of $4.8 Billion, who has the power to ensure that
       Central Park's $528 Billion of prime Manhattan real estate has remained
       completely untouched since its creation?
    -- Who built the existing tunnel network under the park that was used for
       Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project of 1853 that led to the creation of the
       atomic bomb?

Featuring a gripping story, design inspired by contemporary TV action dramas, and original gameplay based on real world rules physics, Eden Games' action survival opus Alone in the Dark is currently scheduled for release in May 2008 for Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system, Wii(TM) and PC with the PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system version following later in 2008.
