Posted on: Tuesday, 23 October 2007, 12:01 CDT

Sick animals await your expert care as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games and digital entertainment products for the mass market, today shipped Zoo Hospital™ for the Nintendo DS™. Developed by Torus Games, Zoo Hospital puts players in the exciting role of a zoo intern who must examine and treat 40 different species of birds, mammals and reptiles.

"Zoo Hospital is the perfect game for anyone who loves animals given its huge variety of patients and authentic background information on each species," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing, Majesco. "For the first time, DS players can treat wild and exotic animals, and enjoy a deep sense of satisfaction when patients regain their health."

In Zoo Hospital, players begin with 10 wild animal species that range from chimp to eagle to endangered fossa. Gamers must identify and treat their ailments, while checking vital signs and learning how to calm stressed patients. Players use the Touch Screen and stylus to tackle challenging medical mini-games, including: administering injections, applying ointment, bandaging appendages, pulling teeth, x-raying organs and much more. A two-player cooperative mode also allows friends to team up to treat their animal charges.

Zoo Hospital is rated E for Everyone and currently available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $29.99. For additional information, please visit www.majescoentertainment.com.
