CHAPEL HILL, NC - November 11, 2004 – Merscom LLC today announced "Terrorist Takedown" for PC has shipped to retail across North America. Many mark this month as the 25th anniversary of the War on Terror as it was on November 4, 1979 when 66 Americans were taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Iran. To help honor those fighting this war, Merscom is donating a percent of profits from the sale of each copy of this arcade-style military action game to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) which was founded in the wake of the Iranian hostage crisis. This very special charity pays tribute to those fallen Special Operations personnel by providing college scholarship grants to their surviving children. Published by Merscom, "Terrorist Takedown" was developed by CITY Interactive and is distributed to retailers by Atari. The game is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB for Strong Language and Violence.
