August 25, 2000

Infogrames announced today that its beach volleyball game, Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball (working title) for the PlayStation and Game Boy Color, will feature volleyball star Gabby Reece.

Reece will appear as a playable character in the game, in addition to appearing on the game's box front and in advertisements. Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball is developed by Carapace and will be available this fall.

"We are very proud to have Gabby Reece, an international superstar volleyball player, endorse Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball," said Laddie Ervin, director of marketing for sports & racing at Infogrames. "Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball is the ultimate beach volleyball game, so it makes perfect sense that the ultimate beach volleyball icon should be featured in the game."

Gabrielle, or "Gabby" Reece, as she is affectionately known, will appear as a character within Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball. Players of the game will have the opportunity to play as or against Gabby Reece. Reece will also appear in print advertisements promoting the game and will be featured prominently on the game's box front.

Reece attended Florida State where she set season records for solo and total blocks, and as a junior in 1990, was named the nation's Most Inspiring Collegiate Athlete. As a professional volleyball player, she has competed in five seasons on the four-person beach tour, where she has twice been named the tour's Top Offensive Player.
