CHESHIRE, Conn. - Lyriq International Corp. has introduced its new CD-ROM title for the consumer market, Discovering Endangered Wildlife. Lyriq showcased the title, as well as Picture Perfect Golf, which the company released in October 1994, at Winter CES in Las Vegas.

Designed for middle-school aged students to learn the threats, problems and solutions regarding endangered species, Discovering Endangered Wildlife features full-motion video, digitized sound effects and 256-color super VGA graphics. The title carries a suggested retail price of $49.95, and Lyriq is making a cash contribution to the National Wildlife Federation for each copy sold.

System requirements include 4MB of available RAM 256 color capability, sound card and Microsoft Windows 3,1 or later. Picture Perfect Golf features real photography of the world's finest golf courses, including Harbor Town Golf Links in Hilton Head South Carolina, as well as first-person play, to offer what the company calls "The most realistic golf game ever seen on a PC."

As the market continues to be flooded with CD-ROM golf game tides, Lyriq president Randy Hujar said Picture Perfect Golf remains unique in its first person player simulation. "We offer the only interface that can be hit with an infrared club," he said. "The game can be played with a mouse, but for an extra hundred dollars or so, players can achieve a live golf experience."

Lyriq adapted technology interface from Japan based GolfTek, Inc., which has indoor golf centers in this country.

The title, which has a suggested retail price of $79.95, requires an MPC with 3 MB of available RAM and MS DOS 3.1 or higher. Both titles are available through all major retailers, independent distributors, and mail order outlets.
