SHOOT INTO THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH
NEXT-GENERATION VIRTUAL POOL
PowerShot Pool™ 2006 Debuting in Time for the Holidays

SCHAUMBURG, IL – Oct. 26, 2005 – TLC Industries is taking virtual pool to the next level. PowerShot Pool™ is the world’s first arcade video pool tournament played on premise.

PowerShot Pool™ combines the skill and mental acuity of real pool but has all the capabilities of virtual pool. This track-ball based game offers the same feel and control as a pool stick combined with the levels of fantasy and excitement of virtual pool giving the players the best of both worlds.

Players can also compete in regional and national tournaments without leaving the comfort of their local tavern or restaurant. Under development for two-years, TLC’s tournament system (www.powershotpool.com) offers a sophisticated global gaming network that allows access to scores, rankings and stats for the operator, manufacturer and player.

“We are doing something that has never been done before,” said Bob Goodman, Director of Sales for TLC Industries, Inc. “We have taken the skills and strategy of real pool, combined it with Yahoo!’s most popular online game and to top it all off, operators and manufacturers can run global tournaments.”

PowerShot Pool™ is set to launch in early November with a kick-off tournament at several participating Chicagoland bars. Information on dates and locations of tournaments will be released soon.
