TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2002—Tecmo® announced today that Controversial King Dennis Rodman has signed on to play the voice of Zack in the newest chapter of the million-selling Dead or Alive Series, Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. The first-ever “Sports Fantasy Simulation” video game featuring Zack and all the sexy fighting girls from Dead or Alive 3® is coming to Xbox™ video game console this holiday season.

Rodman, also known as the Worm during his professional basketball days, is looking forward to playing the voice of Zack. “I am a big fan of the Dead or Alive series and was flattered when Tecmo asked me to play Zack. He is one wild character, just like me, and a bit of a prankster which I can relate to,” said Rodman. “And Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is my kind of game, if you know what I mean.”

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is scheduled for release this holiday season and will feature all the girls from the Dead or Alive series, including one new character. The extreme action is transported from the fighting ring of Dead or Alive 3 to the beach this time around with the girls throwing on their bikinis to go head-to-head in the most outrageous beach volleyball game you have ever seen!
