SSI RELEASES EXPANSION DISK FOR ITS POPULAR CARRIER STRIKE WAR GAME Category: War Game Versions: IBM PC-$29.95 Sunnyvale, CA -- August 19,1992 -- Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI), today releases its Carrier Strike Expansion Disk and presents players with six new starting points and "what if" scenarios for the war waged in the South Pacific during World War II. Continuing the excitement of SSI's original Carrier Strike war game, players experience what might have happened if different tactical and strategic decisions had been made during World War II. As example, what if the Japanese navy had decided to fight for Guadalcanal instead of evacuating? What if the Battle of Midway had never been fought or American carriers had gone to the defense of Wake Island? Or, what if American carriers had been sunk at Pearl Harbor? Players will enjoy the suspense and endless possibilities existing in every scenario and hypothetical situation. As an enhancement to SSI's original Carrier Strike, battle explosions, carrier decks, planes and hangars are brought to life through improved 16-color EGA/VGA graphics and sound systems from AdLib, Sound Blaster, Roland and PC Speaker. As Task Force Commander, players launch attacks against enemy ships, control every plane on the carrier, direct air patrol reconnaissance missions and relocate forces around the map. To be used with Carrier Strike, the Carrier Strike Expansion Disk was written by Gary Grigsby, best-selling author of Western Front, Second Front and Kampfgruppe. SSI is the leading computer fantasy role-playing game publisher and is most noted for its ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS line of computer products. The company is also recognized as the premier computer war game publisher, and based on industry rankings, is one of the top ten entertainment software publishers worldwide.
