Experience Nation-Building At Its Best.

Conquest Of The New World Lands At Retail.

Irvine, California, April 24, 1996 -- Interplay Productions announced today the release of Conquest Of The New World for IBM PC and 100% compatibles. The exploration, discovery and conquest of the new world in the 15th century comes to life in this new strategy game from Interplay. From the creators of the award-winning CASTLES and CASTLES II: Siege & Conquest, this new strategy game is as epic in its nature as the New World was to those first few explorers.

"We believe that Conquest Of The New World takes strategy gaming to the next level with its superior SVGA graphics and compelling gameplay," commented Jim Veevaert, marketing manager for Interplay. "In order to showcase Conquest, we’ve created a dedicated web site that pushes on-line technologies to the limit and allows gamers to play an actual game of combat without downloading the demo."

Packed with outstanding graphics and gameplay, Conquest Of The New World is a turn-based strategy game where players can compete as the Native Americans or one of five different countries: England, France, Spain, Holland or Portugal, each with their own advantages and handicaps. Players must balance building, trade, politics and warfare in their quest to declare independence, build the ultimate nation and achieve victory. Grand battles, discovering riches and developing resources are just some of the elements that players will encounter in Conquest Of The New World.

A built-in tutorial provides game fundamentals along with on-screen instructions and automatic and manual game settings allow players to macro- or micro-manage their game, choose their own victory conditions and fully customize their game. Unlike other games in the genre, this outstanding title is filled with SVGA graphics, a zoom-in function which reveals exciting 3D animations, a full orchestral score and life-like sound effects from the 15th century.

Developed by Quicksilver Software, Conquest Of The New World supports solitaire and multi-player variations. Up to six players can battle it out over a network via hot-seat, or two people can go head-to-head over a modem (IPX, serial and modem connections are supported).

Conquest Of The New World was produced by Interplay’s Vince DeNardo in conjunction with the development team at Quicksilver Software. Vince DeNardo’s other production credits at Interplay include the award-winning CASTLES II: Siege & Conquest and the American versions of Alone In The Dark and Alone In The Dark 2. Mr. DeNardo began his career in the interactive multimedia industry at Computer Gaming World Magazine as art director, writer and assistant editor. In his spare time he raises Siberian huskies and likes to dogsled.

Available on CD-ROM, Conquest Of The New World will run on any 486DX2/66 or faster with DOS 5.0 or later or Windows 95 and at least 8Mb RAM. A double-speed CD-ROM drive, hard drive installation, VESA-compatible SVGA video adapter with at least 512K video RAM, mouse and Sound Blaster compliant sound card are required.
