Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment
industry publisher and developer, today announced that it will be
developing an interactive title based on the hit comedy series from
Adult Swim - Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie
Ninja Pro-Am is scheduled to be available for the PlayStation�2
computer entertainment system this fall. The series, which follows
the exploits of a trio of sentient fast-food items, has also
inspired a feature length film - Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie
Film For Theaters due in theaters April 13. Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is an epic, action-adventure combat golf, cart
racing game that gives fans an opportunity to experience the Aqua
Teen universe in a whole new way. When Frylock is admitted to the
prestigious Jersey Pines Golf Club, Master Shake decides to show
the uppity members that he is also just as good (and uppity) and
deserves a place in their exclusive club. Meatwad is, of course,
persuaded to join in, and the three crime-fighting food products
use golf clubs and a variety of other weapons in ways not intended
as they battle numerous villains, fan favorites and other show
characters. �Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a unique and completely
hilarious property,� said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer,
Midway. �We are working closely with Aqua Teen creators Matt
Maiellaro and Dave Willis to bring the tone of the TV show and
movie into a video game.� �We are thrilled to be bringing the
hilarious antics of Adult Swim�s Aqua Teen Hunger Force to a one of
kind gaming experience,� said Christina Miller, VP of Consumer
Products for Cartoon Network Enterprises, the network�s global
merchandising division. �This game will set a new standard for
crime-fighting, golf-obsessed, food battles.� �This golden chalice
represents a new age in gaming, the likes of which has never before
been seen on this planet. The weak will tremble at the awesomeness
of our full color, hand-made graphics!� said creators Maiellaro and
Willis simultaneously and in unison. �Aqua Teen Hunger Force� is an
original comedy series that is part of Adult Swim, Cartoon
Network�s top-rated late-night sister service which presents
programming six nights per week for a total of 45 hours. �Aqua Teen
Hunger Force� had its series premiere in September 2001, when Adult
Swim launched. More than 60 episodes of the series have been
completed to date. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for
Theaters, also written and produced by Maiellaro and Willis, is
