BALTIMORE, MD – April 10, 2003 – Computer and
video game publisher Gathering and internal development studio Pop Top Software
Inc., subsidiaries of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today
announced that "Tropico 2: Pirate Cove" for the PC has shipped. The sequel to
the award-winning fun-in-the-sun Caribbean simulation "Tropico," "Pirate Cove"
allows players to rule a secret pirate island of despicable 17th century Sea
Dogs. Published by Gathering and developed by San Francisco based Frog City
Software, Inc. "Tropico 2: Pirate Cove" is now available in stores nationwide
and will ship in Europe April 25th 2003.

"We look forward to another success with ‘Tropico
2: Pirate Cove,’" said Kelly Sumner, president of Gathering. "When ‘Tropico’
first hit store shelves in 2001, it became a runaway bestseller. ‘Tropico’ fans
loved the deep game play and sense of humor, and with Frog City’s pirate theme,
we are able to carry on the ‘Tropico’ tradition."

About "Tropico 2: Pirate Cove"

As an all-powerful Pirate King, players must
manage a seventeenth century band of buccaneers in "Tropico 2: Pirate Cove." To
attract the most notorious of history’s sea-faring bad boys, Pirate Kings must
keep their charges brave and well-supplied between voyages. The island’s "yo-ho-ho’s"
must stay at a feverish pitch in order to keep the King’s buccaneers satisfied
with drinking, wenching, gambling, feasting, and the best in pirate
accommodations.

Success in "Tropico 2: Pirate Cove" depends
on careful management of the pirate population. As dead men earn no plunder, the
Pirate King must keep his pirates well equipped for potentially lethal missions.
Sea dogs require muskets, cutlasses, cannons, and the skills to use them when
they venture forth to plunder the Spanish Main. Pirates equipped with a parrot
on their shoulders and a scary black hat are more likely to strike fear into
their victims’ hearts.

About "Tropico"

The winner of several top industry accolades,
the original "Tropico" is an island building simulation based on a remote
1950’s- era Caribbean paradise. As an all-powerful dictator, the player must
create a life of prosperity and happiness for the island residents while
secretly lining his own Swiss bank account. Playboy called "Tropico" "one of the
finest and most dangerously addictive gaming experiences of the year," and
Computer Games Magazine wrote that "Tropico" is "the perfect game to sit down
with for a couple of hours, with a margarita in one hand and the mouse in the
other."
