-Realistic and Extensive Equestrian Videogame Experience for Official FEI Licensed 'My Horse & Me: Riding For Gold'-

Atari, Inc. one of the world's most recognized video game publishers, today announced the development of a new and dramatically enhanced iteration of its equestrian title, My Horse & Me, for Wii(TM) and Nintendo DS(TM). Scheduled to release in March 2009, My Horse & Me: Riding for Gold, provides horse enthusiasts with one of the most authentic, compelling equine experiences ever seen in a video game.

The game also includes beautifully detailed environments and an engrossing storyline that captures the spirit, excitement, and pressure of equine competition.

The only horse game with a multi-player option, My Horse & Me: Riding for Gold capitalizes on the capabilities of Wii by turning the Wii Remote(TM) and Nunchuk(TM) into reins and offering extraordinarily precise controls.

"We are very proud to be part of My Horse & Me: Riding for Gold. The game is an achievement in capturing the authenticity of competition and care that is so essential to the welfare of the horse," said FEI Chief Executive Officer Alex McLin. "Whether you ride or not My Horse & Me is a rewarding and realistic experience for anyone who loves horses."
