Gaming News - January 2005
Pownal, ME (January 24, 2005) - Fogstone Games announced today the
launch of The Lost Admiral Returns.
From LucasArts:
The Lost Admiral Returns makes vast improvements to the original Lost
Admiral, which was released in 1991, while retaining all the award winning
strategy. The free game demo is available for free from their website,
www.fogstone.com.
The Lost Admiral Returns is a naval strategy game that places you at the command
center of a fleet of ships. With your fleets you must capture cities and battle
your enemies, making use of battleships, destroyers, submarines, aircraft
carriers, and more. The new version makes a general improvement to the graphics
and interface of the game, but also adds exciting new scenarios and scenario
objectives, tracks a history of previous games played, allows online competition
through high score charts, customized flagships, 11 difficulty ratings, an
extended “Save the Admiral” campaign and more! Comprehensive tutorials get you
playing the full game quickly and easily.
Each ship in The Lost Admiral Returns is best used against a different type of
ship. For instance, submarines are effective against battleships, destroyers are
deadly to submarines, and battleships crush destroyers. By utilizing the special
nature of each ship you must force your enemy to make mistakes. Lure the
competitive AI into traps, create blockades to protect resources, and feint to
force the enemy AI to break their formation.
The game features a random map generator along with pre-laid scenarios, which
allows for endless replay. Smaller maps can be as short as 20 minutes while
larger maps can provide hours of entertainment. The game comes complete with an
auto-update feature to make sure you have the latest content released at regular
intervals by Fogstone Games. Updates include everything from minor bug fixes to
new optional rules, maps, and missions, making your battles fresh and never out
of date.
The special missions involve some enjoyable twists to the conflict of battle
fleet against battle fleet, including: “Trouble Next Door” for delivering
vitally needed reinforcements to nearby war zones, “Fishing Rights” defending
neutral fishing grounds from enemy incursions, “Secrets” delivering vital
operations materials by sneaking past enemy forces, “Death by Duel” upholding
the home fleet’s honor against the enemy, and other special missions.
The Lost Admiral Returns game caters to all fans of strategy games, naval games,
battleship games, submarine games, and fans of chess as the turn based action
lets you study the battlefield layout, plan out your moves, the enemy’s
responses, and out think your opponent.
The game demo is available for free and comes with a complete 30-day trial.
