FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Garland, TX - February 16, 2001
ARUSH Entertainment, Sunstorm Interactive Partner to Bring Duke Nukem to
Episodic Format
SCOTTSDALE,
Ariz. - March 20, 2001 - Take cover New York! Duke is back! ARUSH
Entertainment, Internet publisher of episodic video games, will
release the newest Duke Nukem online adventure for the PC, Duke Nukem:
Manhattan Project, this fall.
Duke’s
new saga pits the wisecracking, politically incorrect action hero in a
battle to save the Big Apple. He faces his original archrival, the
nefarious scientist Dr. Proton who is hell-bent on world domination.
The third-person game uses a totally new 3D approach and retains the
traditional Duke Nukem over-the-top attitude. The star takes on the
worst mutants New York can muster before a final showdown against the
wily doctor.
Developed
by Sunstorm Interactive, Manhattan Project will be distributed by
ARUSH over the Internet, one episode at a time. The first episode will
be offered free to gamers on most major Internet portals and through
www.arushgames.com.
"Manhattan
Project will pack all the action and personality expected from Duke
Nukem," Jim Perkins, president, ARUSH Entertainment, said.
"This title will be true to the Duke Nukem tradition with
familiar humor, weaponry and creatures that will appeal to longtime
fans and casual gamers alike." Manhattan Project reunites Duke
with one of his previous developers, Sunstorm Interactive. Sunstorm
first gained notoriety with critically praised expansions for popular
first-person games Duke Nukem 3D and Blood. The developer has created
several Duke Nukem expansion packs, including Duke It Out in D.C.,
Duke Extreme and Duke Nukem: Life’s a Beach. ARUSH is collaborating
with Sunstorm on an initial set of eight episodes for the new
action-adventure.
