Historical Trivia Contest Online
(www.stainlesstseelstudios.com)
For Immediate Release
Question: What civilization invented the concept of immortality?
Answer: Egyptian
This is the type of historical trivia question gamers can answer in
order to win awesome prizes at the
official Empire Earth web site (http://www.stainlessstudios.com).
Stainless Steel Studios, the game development company founded by Rick
Goodman
(creator/lead-design of Microsoft’s Age of Empires®),
has announced a daily historical trivia
contest that’s being held online at the company’s
web site, starting on July 31st.
Gamers interested in learning more about Empire Earth – the
real-time, multi-player strategy
game for the next millennium that’s being created by Goodman,
and those who want to
participate in the daily historical trivia contest, should visit the
official Stainless Steel Studios web site at
http://www.stainlesssteelstudios.com.
Each day, a new historical trivia question will be posted on the site.
The answer to this question can be
researched online, within the site’s ‘Empire Earth
Encyclopedia’ area. One
winner will be picked at random from those who submit the correct answer
to the daily trivia question.
For the first fifty (50) days of the contest, collectible 11" x 17",
full-color, limited edition posters,
offering a sneak preview of the Empire Earth game’s technology
tree (numbered and
autographed by Rick Goodman) and suitable for framing, will be awarded.
Future prizes will include
Empire Earth T-shirts, hats, mouse pads and other official merchandise.
"Since we announced the formation of Stainless Steel Studios and the
development of Empire Earth,
the response from gamers around the world has been phenomenal. Our
web site is the best place for
gamers to keep tabs on the game’s development and also participate
in exciting contests that
relate to the game and to real-life history," stated Rick Goodman,
founder of Stainless Steel Studios,
Inc.
Empire Earth will use the core game play experience that Age of Empires
offered as a starting point,
but will offer gamers an entirely new type of multi-player, real-time
strategy game experience.
This summer, Stainless Steel Studios plans to announce an exclusive
distribution and marketing
partnership with a major software publisher to handle the worldwide
release of Empire Earth and the
company’s subsequent titles, including multiple expansion
packs for Empire Earth.
