***Most of you folks know this already, but from the newswire yesterday***
SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) today announced the release of the 3DO(R) version of the extremely successful award winning "Panzer General(TM)."
"Panzer General" takes an entirely new approach to computerized wargaming. In fact, it's decidedly more than wargame! Combining elements from the best strategy game with the finest features of top selling wargames PLUS state-of-the-art new technology, SSI has produced what it believes to be the best of the best! Revel in stunning graphics as only 3DO can deliver!
You are a German General! The year is 1939. Lead well and your experienced units could turn in into an overwhelming force plowing through Norway, Belgium, France, North Africa and the Eastern Front. You might even end up on the shores of England by 1940 or in America by 1945! Success will bring more challenges, tougher battles and provide experience to your "Core" units to help manage the next series of confrontations. Prestige and influence are attributes which are earned, not given. If you are successful across Europe, you can forge your way through North Africa and onto the Eastern Front. If unsuccessful, you can find yourself in dire straits in Berlin as early as 1939!
Authentic World War II footage adds to the suspense and realism of this stunning 3DO masterpiece. Over 35 progressive scenarios allow players, if successful, to buy more than 350 types of units and equipment ranging from Tiger tanks to the B-17 Flying Fortress.
As a strategy game, "Panzer General" will challenge and stimulate your mind -- something you'd expect from SSI. But this time, we've pulled out all the stops: prepare for a gaming experience that will overwhelm your senses!
