Aspyr Media, Inc. Ships Delta Force: Black Hawk Down For Macintosh

Business Wire, June 30, 2004

AUSTIN, Texas -- Aspyr Media, Inc. announced today that they are shipping Delta Force(R): Black Hawk Down(R) for Mac. The game was licensed from NovaLogic(R) Inc. and Macintosh conversion was completed by Westlake Interactive.

Set in Somalia in 1993, Delta Force(R): Black Hawk Down(R) is based on the Operation Restore Hope and Task Force Ranger campaigns shown in the book and movie of the same name. The game follows members of the elite Delta Force, US Army Rangers and 10th Mountain Division as they participate in raids against the oppressive Somali warlords in and around Mogadishu.

Delta Force(R): Black Hawk Down(R) recreates the intense atmosphere of a war-torn country. From tours of duty in the vast Somali countryside, where snipers could lurk on top of any hill -- to the maze-like streets of Mogadishu, where militia and civilians blend seamlessly and the task of discerning enemy from refugee is vital, as a wrong decision could cost you your mission or your life.

With a variety of new weapons and vehicles, players have options to customize their war to their specifications. Delta Force(R): Black Hawk Down(R) includes MH-6 helicopter transports, Black Hawks and ground-based vehicles, an AI system that drives teams and enemies to carry out combat missions, an arsenal of authentic weapons and a variety of huge landscapes that transport the player into the middle of a war zone.

Delta Force(R): Black Hawk Down(R) is rated T for Teen by the ESRB and is available at retailers nationwide for $49.99.
