SPENCER BEGGS Scene Editor PlayStation game developing power house Naughty Dog Inc., author of the ultra-successful "Crash Bandicoot" series, has started what hopefully will not become a running series for the Playstation 2 with its newest release of "Jak and Daxter: the Precursor Legacy," its first foray into the three-dimensional platform genre. Following its convention of having purposefully light plots, "Naughty Dog" set this game in a tropical utopia whose residents have strange mystic rites cen tering on an energy substance known as "eco," which comes in a number of vari eties. Eco can be harnessed for a num ber of purposes, from giving the main character, Jak, superpowers to provid ing mechanical energy for a whole vil lage. The fluffy plot follows Jak's quest to find a cure for his buddy Daxter, who has fallen into a pool of "dark eco," which has turned him into a wise-crack ing, orange, ferret-type creature. The pair set off to explore their fantasy world and uncover the secrets of the mysterious Precursors, a race that left ancient machines lying around that can be activate by - you guessed it - the proper colored eco. "Crash Bandicoot" fans will recognize the gameplay style of "Jak and Daxter" because they are almost identical. Jak even whirls Daxter around his body in a suspiciously bandicoot-like manner and can do a leaping drop kick analogous to the face plant move in the "Crash Bandicoot" series.

Coors signs 5-year deal as NFL's sponsor Associated Press NEW YORK Coors has become the NFL's official beer sponsor in a five-year deal that includes the right to use the league's various logos. Brian McCal'thy, the NFL's director of corporate communications, confirmed the deal Tuesday, but would not release terms. Sports Business Daily reported the contract is for $300 million. Coors obtained rights to use the logos of the NFL, the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl in advertising and promotions. Coors can also do pro motions or advertising with team logos, but it must use all 32 logos at the same time. The Coors contract does not prevent each team from cutting its own deals with other beer companies or with Coors. In the past, Anheuser-Busch and Miller Brewing shared the category. The NFL will receive the rights fees from Coors, and all 32 teams will share the money. The various NFL franchises also retain money from local team deals. page 15 The Observer+ SPORTS Wednesday, March 27, 2002 NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL Mouton finds inspiration in tragedy Kansas calmly deals • Maryland senior season. and 11.3 points this year.
