DATA BECKER Announces America
Expansion Pack

New Missions, Online Gaming
and Level Editor Added to Popular Real-Time Strategy Game

NEWTON, Mass. (December 17, 2001) – If you thought
the fight for the West was over, you’re dead wrong!  The new America
Expansion Pack from DATA BECKER adds eight new missions, a level editor for
adding your own new challenges, and the ability to play online, bringing hours
of additional enjoyment to new and experienced America gamers.

America is a
real-time strategy game allowing players to step back into time and test their
survival skills among the rough and tumble inhabitants of The Wild West. 
The new Expansion Pack features new missions from
each of the game’s four different groups — Native Americans, Settlers, Mexicans
and Outlaws.  There is a new level editor providing users with the ability to
design their own America levels.  Players can now dream and pursue
impossible missions, re-enact Wild West lore and myths, or build new
settlements.

The Expansion Pack also features five new
units to command, new group members and historically authentic new buildings to
enhance the original game.  Players can now command the Tomahawk Warrior,
Pioneer, Gatling Gun, Ironclad Coach or the Saboteur unit.  They can add a
hunter, flame-thrower, bow and arrow, and farm women to their missions at a
training camp, restaurant, tent of the elders and wood mill. 

Full Internet gaming functionality is available
through GameSpy.com.  Players can challenge other America gamers from
around the corner and around the world.  The Expansion Pack also features
a re-engineered game engine providing smoother, smarter artificial intelligence,
graphics and gameplay for a more realistic gaming experience.

The Expansion pack for America is available
today at www.databecker.com and
other online resellers, and at various computer, software specialty, consumer
electronics, and office supply chains nationwide. It retails for $19.95.
