CHICAGO, Ill. --- February 18, 1996 ---  Brad Schick announces the
debut of Robot Battle 1.3, an exciting new strategic simulation
for Microsoft Windows 3.1, 95 and NT. Robot Battle simulates
the design and building of intelligent robots that compete in deadly
combat. The goal is to devise robots that can defeat others from all
over the world. Robot Battle brings players’ custom designed robots
to life with stunning sound effects and vivid real-time animation. Only
robots with keen tactics, intelligence, and adaptability will survive.

Robots are created using an event driven scripting  language.
Players only need a text editor and their imagination. No previous
programming knowledge is required. In fact, Robot Battle is an
excellent way to start learning to program. Most modern computer
systems are based on event driven techniques very similar to those
learned while playing Robot Battle.

The robot scripting language actually allows for the creation of
robots that learn. As a match progresses, well-designed robots
adapt to their surroundings, enhancing performance. Several
reviewers have classified Robot Battle as an artificial intelligence
simulator rather than a game. Make no mistake, however, Robot
Battle is intended for fun. "I was amazed at the concept... Robot
Battle makes it possible to write very distinctive robots that are
fun to watch in action." writes reviewer Karl Zilles.

Robot creation starts by dreaming. Players attempt to fashion
robots that can prevail in any situation. The best robots are not
the strongest, but rather the most cunning. Robot Battle is bundled
with several intriguing robots which speed the learning process. Even
before players create their own unique designs, these sample robots
are exhilarating to watch. Of course, learning to build intelligent
robots is the game’s ultimate challenge.

Eventually, players will want to match their wits against other skilled
robot designers. Robot Battle provides an avenue for this. Several
worldwide competitions are planned to find the greatest robots around.
All contestants will receive final results including overall contest
information and detailed individual statistics. Innovative new robots
can already be found on the Internet. The robot battle has begun.

Robot Battle 1.3 maintains 100% compatibility with all previous Robot
Battle versions. This version was created primarily to update
information about Robot Battle's new Internet presence. Robot Battle
now has its own domain on the Internet with an associated WWW Home
Page, FTP Site, and Mailing List. A few bugs have also been fixed in
version 1.3.
