Attention All TV and Game Lovers

The Apprentice Los Angeles ships May 1, 2007. Will you be the next apprentice?

Los Angeles, CA April 20, 2007 -- Legacy Interactive®, a leader in TV games, today announced the release of their television reality game -- The Apprentice Los Angeles. The game's release coincides with the finale of the hit television show's sixth season and is available at Legacy's popular game portal, www.legacygames.com. The Apprentice Los Angeles will be distributed by ValuSoft, a division of THQ Inc., and ship on May 1 to all major retailers for $19.95. It will also be sold via all major downloadable game portals, including Yahoo! Games, Big Fish Games and RealArcade.

The Apprentice Los Angeles showcases a twist on time and resource management games, with multiple environments requiring unique game strategies. Players learn to master skills, manage their time efficiently, make sure they have sufficient inventory, work with others and act quickly and confidently in the boardroom. Depending on how players perform in the main tasks, they may end up in the boardroom, where they must combine memory and strategy in order to avoid that infamous phrase: "You're Fired!" The opponents' performance is directly related to how well the player has performed in the rest of the game. Players "strut their stuff" in such iconic Los Angeles venues as an upscale hotel in Hollywood, a sushi bar downtown, a fancy Beverly Hills boutique and beach-front property in Santa Monica. The Apprentice Los Angeles stars the famous members of the Trump family -- Donald, Ivanka and Don Jr. -- as well as 12 of the most memorable contestants from the hit show.

Additionally, Legacy Interactive worked closely with Intel Corporation to optimize The Apprentice Los Angeles for mobile gamers, adding new features into the game such as battery life and wireless connection monitoring and capping the frame rate in order to conserve battery life.

"Mobile gaming is a rapidly growing trend and together, Intel and Legacy Interactive are working to enhance the mobile game experience," said Erik Reid, Mobile Marketing Director for Intel's Mobile Products Group. "Gamers using laptops featuring Intel® Centrino® Duo processor technology will now be able to monitor battery power and their wireless connection while playing so they no longer have to guess at how much time they have left or if they are still connected."

"We are very proud of our association with The Apprentice TV show and its incredibly talented creator, Mark Burnett, our new retail distributor, ValuSoft, and our technology 'enabler,' Intel Corporation," said Ariella Lehrer, President of Legacy Interactive. "We believe that Legacy has created yet another innovative game that adds unique gameplay to a proven genre, one that will appeal to casual gamers and TV fans alike."
