Matrix Games Announces
Battleground and Campaign Series Plans
Plans for Award-Winning Series
Include Update From Original Developer
Staten Island, NY, October 11th,
2005 – Matrix Games is pleased to announce its plans for the recently
acquired publishing right for the Talonsoft Battleground and Campaign series.
The Battleground series includes
nine titles ranging from the Ardennes and Gettysburg to Waterloo and Chickamauga
and has been inducted in its entirety into the Computer Gaming World Hall of
Fame. The Campaign series also included nine titles, starting with East Front
and West Front and ending with Rising Sun and Divided Ground.
Matrix Games has reached an
agreement with the original developer of these titles, John Tiller, to assist in
updating each game to the most recent version to assure full compatibility with
the latest Windows XP systems and DirectX. Matrix Games plans to publish an
updated version of the full Battleground and Campaign series games, including
some fixes and tweaks for issues that have become known since their original
release.
David Heath, Director of Operations
at Matrix Games, said, “The Battleground games originally launched Talonsoft to
success and earned legions of fans. For simulation of 19th Century warfare, many
of these designs have not been surpassed to date. We are very excited that John
Tiller has agreed to assist and advise us on this project to make sure that the
updated versions will run on the latest systems and include some great
improvements.”
Matrix Games plans to release
further information in the near future on update and publishing plans and
schedules for these titles.
