MAKING HISTORY® Gaming Headquarters strikes Gold.
World premiere of Making History® Gold Edition includes four all-new scenarios plus the six scenarios from the original Making History® The Calm & the Storm.
Newburyport MA, USA (July 30, 2008) – Muzzy Lane Software today announced the worldwide digital download premiere of the Gold Edition of MAKING HISTORY® The Calm & the Storm. The game is currently available for download at www.making-history.com as well top digital distribution sites. Boxed versions of the game are coming soon to many leading retail outlets.
"This game is the result of a combination of suggestions and input from our fantastic player community as well as features and tweaks we here at Muzzy Lane have added to improve the game." says Muzzy Lane Product Manager Chris Parsons. "Our new Rise of the Reich scenario is a response to polls from the MAKING HISTORY Gaming Headquarters website. It turns out everyone wants to play the bad guy and take over the world! Rise of the Reich gives you a chance to do just that."
The Gold Edition further includes three broad-ranging scenarios created by our players using the MAKING HISTORY Editor. One is the ultra-realistic Blitzkrieg scenario, which closely follows the actual historical timeline. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Clash of Continents – a complete fantasy battle scenario in which nations are replaced by six independent teams fighting against time and each other to capture the world as quickly as possible. Finally there is Southern Star, which features the United States split into two nations – North and South – as a result of a very different culmination to the US Civil War. This counterfactual event dramatically alters the balance of WWII powers and creates some interesting questions: What if the two US nations had different allegiances in the war? Or just fought each other as civil war tensions flared up again? Together these new scenarios offer unique and challenging experiences for both veteran players and new recruits.

About the Making History Series
MAKING HISTORY® is a series of counterfactual turn-based strategy games in which players apply their strategic skills to lead their chosen nation through real-world periods of conflict. The goal is not to replay history exactly as it happened, but rather to operate in an unpredictable, player-driven world. This approach creates a unique blend of dynamic, open-ended gameplay for those who enjoy games like Axis & Allies® and Civilization® while the historic setting will appeal to those who want to test their mettle in a more realistic environment. Virtually any country is playable across a variety of the game's bundled scenarios, and players can use the MAKING HISTORY® Game Editor to create new scenarios of their own, offering endless hours of gameplay. The MAKING HISTORY Gaming Headquarters website www.making-history.com is the primary community resource for players where they can share scenarios, find scores of free content and interact with other players in the community forum.
