NEWWAR ES

The late 1800's ana early 1900'smarked the Age of Imperialism,with the U.S., Great Britain, Ger-many, France, Russia and Japanas the most active participants.

Now, SSI brings back theyesteryears in a fun and simplegame of world domination:COLONIAL CONQUEST"

For up to six human playersor a minimum of one human andfive computer opponents, thiseasy strategy simulation putsyou in charge of one of the siximperialistic nations. You collectmoney through taxation of yourlands and use it for espionage,subversion, fortification, orbuying armies and fleets, Yourgoal: to conquer as many minornations as possible and hoistyourself up as the mightiest ruleron Earth.

The 1880 and 1914 Scenariosare semi-realistic: The army/navysize of each major power is setaccording to historical records.A Standard Scenario lets you setyour own.

Using joystick control andbeautiful scrolling color graphics,this game is a joy to play. After all,it quenches the thirst in all of us,the thirst for...power!

Imagine all the best westernsyou've ever read about or seen:the Earp brothers and Doc Hol-liday against the McLaury andClanton Brothers at the O.K. Corral;Indians circling bandwagons;the escapades of Billy the Kid, theDalton Gang and Bat Masterson;mythical superheroes whosesharpshooting skills are almost aslegendary as their steely squintsand impassive faces. Now imaginea computer game that has themall — SIX-GUN SHOOTOUT7

This simple, fast-action strategygame contains nine scenarios.The weapons are rated for effec-tiveness and type (single- ordouble-action pistols, repeatrifles, or shotguns). In each sce-nario, the computer assignsweapons to a given character,who is rated for weapon skill(speed of draw and accuracy),quickness of movement, andhand-to-hand combat ability.

Unlike most western movies,you cannot fire ten shots from asix-gun. You must remember toreload. Like a real western, youwin when your side is still standingat the end of the shootout.

Solitaire or two-player.

Armored warfare of the I)90's.What will it be like when modernwar machines — sleek, turbine-propelled, missile-armed, laser-guided — clash on the battlefield?

The answer can be foundwhen you play the definitivesimulation of modern land battles:MECH BRIGADE'

We've compiled the combatratings for practically everyweapon type found in the arse-nals of the U.S., West Germany,England, and Russia: 10 tanks,6 self-propelled anti-tank guidedmissiles (ATGM), 4 helicopters,6 recon/command vehicles,7 armored personnel carriers,not to mention a huge roster ofmortars, artillery, surface-to-airmissiles, and infantry weapons.

Using a modified version ofthe popular "Kampfgruppe""combat system, hit probabilitiesfor every weapon are calculatedinstantly. Combat is resolveddown to individual tanks, gunsand soldiers.

Four scenarios are provided,each in a different area of WestGermany. You can also createyour own with the Random Setup.During solitaire, the computercan direct either side.

Each game in the WHENSUPERPOWERS COLLIDE" seriespresents a different scenario ofpossible NATO-USSR confronta-tions in various tinderboxesaround the world.

"Germany 1985"" led offwith a Soviet invasion into WestGermany through the Fulda Gap.

"RDF 1985"" proposed aRussian seizure of the oil-richPersian Gulf, which demandedan urgent U.S. response with itsRapid Deployment Force.

"Baltic 1985'" hypothesizeda NATO rescue of its beseigedforces in Berlin.

Now, we are proud to an-nounce the fourth installment inour popular series: NORWAY 1985°This time, the Soviets chooseNorway as their window of attackIn addition to the normal com-plement of fighting units, thisgame features ski troops.

Like its predecessors,NORWAY 1985 boasts all theingredients of a great wargame:Beautiful scrolling color graphicdisplays, a simple yet sophisti-cated movement system, andrealistic combat rules. In solitaireplay, the computer can directeither side.

For ,been dreaming of taking to theskies in World War II combatplanes, WINGS OF WAR' wasmade for you.

This exciting tactical simulationlets you choose from 36 differentAmerican, British, German, andJapanese warplanes — eachhistorically rated for speed,maneuverability, climbing anddiving ability. Just imagine your-self piloting such legendary fightersand bombers as the Hurricane,P-51 Mustang, the B-17 Flying For-tress and the Stuka dive bomber.

You can call up either globalor tactical plots on the screenwhile directing up to 16 planes.Each plane's pilot can be rated"inexperienced," "normal," orace."

Four scenarios cover prac-tically all aspects of the aerial warduring World War II. For solitaireplay, we offer Nightfighter andV-1 Intercept. For solitaire and twoplayers, Dogfight and BomberFormation.

For those who just want to fly,an Air Race scenario is provided.
