Bogarus Rises! Dominions 3.14 Now Available!

Hampstead, NC, 28 January 2008

Who says January has to be an unexciting time for computer gaming? Illwinter Game Design and Shrapnel Games are pleased to announce a new patch for the multi-award winning fantasy strategy title, Dominions 3, overflowing with the delectable goodness you've come to expect from Illwinter.

Bringing the retail game to version 3.14 the patch includes something for everyone, even your dear old grandmother! Like new nations? Of course you do! And so you get a new late age nation, Bogarus! Do you get your mod on? Version 3.14 adds a number of helpful modding commands for everyone who enjoys tweaking the game. What about bugs, you say? 3.14 kills bugs deader than Britney Spears' career.

A complete list of changes found in the 3.14 patch can be found at here.

When the alien armadas descend from the skies above there will be two types of Earthlings facing them. The first type will be those unable to fight the invaders due to their lack of interstellar combat knowledge. They will be captured en masse and experience a lifetime of probing. The aliens won't even buy them dinner, nor cuddle afterwards. The second type will know the fine art of galactic starship combat thanks to the countless hours they spent playing Eat Electric Death!. This group will become heroes to the human race, and will have really big statues made of them. We're talking huge.

For everyone looking to not be probed, Shrapnel Games is proud to announce that Digital Eel's board game, Eat Electric Death!, is currently at the printers and we are accepting pre-orders on this thrilling title! From now December 31st, Eat Electric Death! can be pre-ordered for only $32.95 direct from Shrapnel Games. Pre-ordering guarantees that you will be one of the first Earthicans to get the game once it arrives from the printer. And no, you don't have to wait for another 499 folks to also pre-order. Current shipping ETA is early first quarter 2008.

Eat Electric Death! is a tactical starship combat game set in the Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space computer game universe. Designed by the award-winning developer behind the computer game, Digital Eel, no knowledge of the digital game is necessary to enjoy the cardboard game. What is necessary is an appreciation of fast-moving, action packed gameplay that will leave a grin plastered on your face all night long.

Two players (although solo and group play can also work) command the starships of seven races from Weird Worlds in over twenty-five scenarios. Start off small with a furious dogfight, or jump right into the stuff space operas are made of with a daring running battle amongst asteroids to protect the Zorg ambassador. Secret weapon cards shake up tactics, and make every replay unique. Most scenarios take under thirty minutes to game, and even the largest won't take longer than an hour, making Eat Electric Death! the perfect space game for today's on-the-go gamer.

Light Your Lantern, It's Time To Face The Dark!

The hour has arrived! Adventurers, now is the time to go forth into the dank darkness overgrown with bizarre flora, and face untold horrors in a quest for fame, fortune, glory, and ale! No, we're not talking about your computer room (although cleaning up those fuzzy gray Taco Bell wrappers may not be a bad idea), but the deadly catacombs found in Scallywag: In the Lair of the Medusa, now shipping worldwide!

Scallywag: In the Lair of the Medusa, developed by Chronic Reality and published by Shrapnel Games, is a single-player dungeonstomp that hearkens back to good ol' days of dungeonstomping.

Scallywag is available for Windows based PCs for only $29.95. Currently shipping and only available as a physical product, it will also be available for download very soon if you would prefer that method of delivery. We should point out that the non-label side of the physical CD makes an excellent mirror for when you encounter a medusa in real life, potentially saving you from an eternity in a rock garden. That alone should be reason enough to grab a copy.

Scallywag is essentially two products in one. The first product is the exciting adventure quest of the game's title which players can immediately dive into once installed. The second product is the Random Adventure Game engine, or RAGe. RAGe powers Scallywag: In the Lair of the Medusa and is completely open to players. The adventure never has to end, never grow stale! Literally everything and anything in the game can be easily modded by users.

Heading straight towards your hard drive like an APFSDS round streaking towards its target, ATF: Armored Task Force is now available as a download, direct from Shrapnel Games. Within mere minutes of purchase lay waste to your enemies, and immerse yourself in the carnage of the modern battlefield. HOORAH!

ATF: Armored Task Force, developed by ProSIM Company and published by Shrapnel Games, is THE simulation of late 20th century/early 21st century land combat, featuring a level of fidelity unsurpassed in commercial computer games. In fact, ATF: Armored Task Force is so accurate in its modeling of contemporary warfare that the sim's engine is in use by actual military organizations around the globe, and also by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company as a ground combat model to test advanced approaches and weapon systems for close air support.

The downloadable version of ATF: Armored Task Force is version 1.08, and represents the latest version (no patching required). It also includes the Scenario Pack, previously available as a separate download. The Scenario Pack consists of two scenarios (Bihac 1: Desperate Defense and Saudi Arabia 1: Desert Strike) and two maps (Bihac in Bosnia Herzegovina, and Wadi Dabl in Saudi Arabia). The full manual is also included as a PDF file.
