Montreal, Canada. March 23, 2006. Strategy First, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Silverstar Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSTR) and developer MAUS Software announced today that “Battle of Europe†has shipped to retailers nationwide.
“We’re very happy to announce that Battle of Europe has shipped,†said Jay Podilchuk, Executive Producer at Strategy First. “Finally a WWII flight game where you don’t actually have to know how to fly a plane to shoot down the enemy!â€
“We are really excited that this game is now available to North American customers,†said Illya Tkachuck, Product/Marketing Manager at Maus Software. “In the World War II era, there were no complicated automatic systems inside aircrafts: pilots controlled everything by themselves. Our game gives players the possibility to experience that reality first-hand.â€
Battle of Europe is a fully 3D arcade action game. Taking place in the skies over Europe, players are taken through breathtaking terrain modeled for London, Norway, Dunkirk, and Berlin.
Whether the sortie puts the player in the seat of a traditional British Spitfire, or behind the throttle of a captured German prototype, the honor of the RAF must be maintained at all costs in order to keep the Axis forces at bay!
Battle of Europe is now available at Best Buy, for a suggested retail price of $19.99. Battle of Europe is rated E-10 for Everyone 10 and older, by the ESRB.
