Montreal, Quebec (November 8, 2002) - Strategy First today announced
that O.R.B has hit retail shelves nationwide.
“I couldn’t be happier about O.R.B making its retail debut,” says Don
McFatridge, President of Strategy First Inc. “The development team has worked
extremely hard to make O.R.B the game it is. I am very proud of what they have
accomplished.”
From Strategy First:
O.R.B is a visually stunning 3D Real-Time strategy game that pits the forces
of two races against each other in a desperate struggle to control the resources
they need to expand their empires. O.R.B stands for Off-World Resource Base and
what happens in the ”Off-World” is the stuff that dreams or nightmares are made
of. Within the multiple systems are the precious resources that both planets
desperately need to thrive. The stage has been set for a battle to control the
solar system. While the two races play a deadly game of hide and seek in the
asteroid belt, they are unaware of a predatory alien menace that threatens the
entire solar system.

- Unparalleled 3D real-time strategic gaming action with full freedom of
movement in space

strategies

including tactical ships, shock troops, various fighter types, multiple
capital ship classes and support vessels
- Downloadable campaign editor and tools, complete with the ability to
script your own scenarios, event triggers, campaigns and cut-scenes
