SSI ANNOUNCES COMPREHENSIVE PACIFIC WAR SIMULATION INTRODUCING GARY
GRIGSBY'S PACIFIC WAR 

Game Category: Strategic War Game 
Versions: IBM PC (December) - $79.95

Sunnyvale, CA - November 20,1992 -- Fifty-one years ago, on December 7, the
Japanese Imperial Navy launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Naval
forces stationed in Pearl Harbor, igniting World War II and changing the
course of history. Now Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) announces another
historical event - the release of Gary Grigsby's Pacific War, the most
comprehensive simulation of WW II's war in the pacific ever produced for a
home computer. Due in December for IBM PC, the game carries a suggested
retail price of $79.95.

Designed by Gary Grigsby, respected author of 21 SSI war games including
Carrier Strike and Kampfgruppe, Pacific War makes an historical
achievement by including all the ships, planes, and ground troops located
in the Pacific theater from 1941 to 1945. Encompassing precise detail, the
game offers the stunning drama of five campaigns, two scenarios, and five
levels of play. Individual real-life clashes from the war, such as the
Battle of Midway and the Battle of Coral Sea, are simulated within
campaigns which range in length from months to years. With 78 million
square miles of territory and 200 bases, Pacific War gives players the big
picture as they command their multitudes of U.S. or Japanese battle forces
from their headquarters.

"Gary Grigsby succeeds with Pacific War where no one else has gone before.
He has created the only fully-developed simulation of the World War II war
in the pacific ever for a home computer. The ability to control the
firepower of both the U.S. and Japanese forces will keep players glued to
their keyboards," stated Kathleen Watson, SSI Director of Marketing.

Pacific War simulates the true WW II experience with a detailed database
listing every land, air, and sea unit under the player's command.
Realistic graphics display up-close combat scenes complete with bomb and
torpedo explosions. The simulation is uncanny, right down to the impact of
a Japanese Kamikaze plane crashing into the deck of an aircraft carrier,
the development of Atomic Bombs, and submarine maneuvers. After battle,
players can review damage incurred to either side to relive the thrill of
victory or the agony of defeat. Designed for one player who fights the
computer or two players who face off head-to-head, Pacific War offers
10-100 hours of historical warfare.
