Morrisville, NC November 27, 2000 People around the world were stunned when
a nerve gas attack left hundreds injured in Japan. Can you imagine what would
happen if terrorists used biological warfare on a larger scale? In this modern
day holocaust, a virus starts attacking people with a specific genetic make-up
and
there is no cure. Red Storm Entertainment and Holistic Design, Inc. bring you
into this deadly world with the upcoming PC game, Bio-Strike.
Bio-Strike is a real time strategy game in which you are the CEO of a powerful
genetics research lab. You have also been struck with an unknown and potentially
lethal virus. By acquiring other companies and with the use of your own corporate
security force, you will need to find out who is behind the creation of this
lethal designer virus and stop them in their tracks. Time is not on your side.
Holistic Design, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia has been chosen by Red Storm to bring
this world to life. The crew at Holistic has been making games for the past
8 years and has a long history of designing successful strategy games. The lead
on Bio-Strike, Ken Lightner, is best known for Merchant Prince, Machiavelli
the Prince, Battles of Destiny, and Warhammer 40K: Final Liberation.
"Working with Red Storm on a Tom Clancy project has given us a chance
to combine some of the best elements of a modern strategy game -- corporate
takeovers, highly trained assault teams, computer hacking, research on the cutting
edge of science, and more, Holistic Design, Inc. Director Andrew Greenberg
said. In Bio-Strike, players have to act on, and react to, the sudden
changes that today's science creates. While they can concentrate on certain
areas, they have to also be ready for anything that gets used against them.
Bio-Strike will be released late in the first quarter of 2001 for the PC. The
Tom Clancys Power Plays novel, Bio-Strike, based on the Red Storm game,
is available this month in bookstores nationwide. Published by Berkley, the
book is already on the New York Times paperback bestseller list.
