**Electronic Arts and FIRAXIS Ship Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
Legendary Design Team Takes Addictive Strategy Gameplay to the 22nd Century**
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., February 9, 1999- Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS), the world’s largest interactive entertainment software company, announces the shipment of Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri’. This much-anticipated product marks the next generation in strategy games from the design team that created the top selling and critically acclaimed Sid Meier’s Civilization® I & II , Sid Meier’s Colonization® and Sid Meier’s Gettysburg! Alpha Centauri is the creation of FIRAXIS Games’, a Baltimore-based development house established by legendary game designers Sid Meier, Brian Reynolds and Jeff Briggs.
Alpha Centauri features the perfect balance of exploration, discovery, building and conquest that players have come to expect from a Sid Meier strategy game. The game takes these elements and combines them with a gripping science-fiction story to create the most compelling and addictive strategic gameplay in the industry.
Set in the 22nd century, the game begins as a group of colonists sets off for the Alpha Centauri star system with the goal of saving humankind from extinction. As the ship nears its destination, an uncharted meteor strikes it, awakening the travelers from cryogenic sleep. The ensuing chaos results in the formation of seven factions, each with differing goals and agendas. Ill-equipped for survival on a hostile world, the separated leaders and their crews crash land on a lonely planet orbiting Alpha Centauri with what equipment that could be salvaged. From this disastrous beginning they must begin the monumental task of survival on an alien world and of forging the future of mankind.
In Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, players may choose to play one of the seven different factions, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Players can discover more than 75 extraordinary future technologies rooted in modern-day science. They can build more than 60 base upgrades and large-scale secret projects for their empire and they can explore Alpha Centauri’s richly detailed, 3-D contoured terrain. Players can design and build military units to meet their needs (more than 32,000 possible unit types in all). They can unlock the technologies of the future by making discoveries that allow them to build energy weapons, projectile weapons and units with special abilities like cloaking devices and antigravity struts. The terraforming ability allows players to alter the terrain for better resource gathering or to impede an opponent’s progress. For example, players can raise mountains or land-bridge bodies of water to create a competitive strategic advantage for their faction.
"At FIRAXIS, we’re known for creating history-based games, so it was a natural evolution to create a game dealing with the future of history," said Brian Reynolds, vice president of development at FIRAXIS Games. "In Alpha Centauri, we’ve created a plausible and richly detailed futuristic world in which players can create their visions for the future of humankind with all the addictive ‘just-one-more-turn’ gameplay that our fans have come to expect from this team."
A random 3-D world generator, six difficulty levels, a full-featured map/game editor and other customizable options make Alpha Centauri infinitely replayable. There is multiplayer support with up to seven players over a LAN (local area network), 2-4 players over the Internet and two players via modem and serial link. There are five different ways to win the game including conquering the world, leading your people to the next step in the evolution of humanity and diplomatic, economic and scenario-based victories.
"Alpha Centauri represents the next generation in strategy gaming," said Sid Meier, chairman and director of creative development at FIRAXIS Games. "We’ve taken compelling gameplay and added a whole host of new features and innovative ideas which make Alpha Centauri a completely unique and fun experience."
More information on the game can be found on the Alpha Centauri home site on the World Wide Web located at http://www.alphacentauri.com.
FIRAXIS Games creates fun, intelligent computer games to live in the minds and imaginations of people the world over for generations to come.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to FIRAXIS Games™ second offering, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. As with all games from FIRAXIS, fun and imagination rule, and we have tried to make a very complex topic accessible and interesting.
It is an ambitious game, addressing some very fundamental issues facing mankind as we approach the new millennium. What sort of technologies can we expect to deal with within the next couple of centuries? How will we use these technologies - for good or for evil? In fact, what ideologies will be paramount in the next millennium, and do these ideologies imply new and differ
ing definitions for "good" and "evil"? What is the ultimate goal for humanity?THE STORY
Soon after the new millenium begins, humankind's oldest enemies - war, famine and disease are winning the battle on planet Earth. The United Nations decides to attempt the mission that has been the dream of countless science fiction writers and fans for generations: the colonization of a New World, before it is too late. The establishment of a new outpost for mankind as an alternative to the decaying situation on our mother planet seems to be the last and best hope for the continued existence of mankind.
Code named "Unity, " the plan is simple. Send enough men, women and supplies to the earthlike planet, Chiron, orbiting the primary star in the Alpha Centauri system. Give them the seeds for planting a new society - technology, knowledge, and experts of every kind. Insure that the mission, U.N. sponsored, stays on track by carefully monitoring its progress from Earth. Then,
when the time is right, and if the need still exists, begin shuttling others to the New World at Alpha Centauri.But space travel is a difficult undertaking, even now. It is hard to reach our own moon. Even if we had the capacity to make it to a distant planet, will we be able to bring the travelers back? Once firmly established on a distant world, will we be able to cooperate with one another there long enough to establish a new society that can attain the same levels and quality of life that we have achieved here after almost 5000 years of civilization? But the deteriorating conditions on Earth leave us little choice.
From the beginning, there are problems aboard the U.N. Starship Unity. An unexpected reactor malfunction damages the ship, waking the travelers early from cryo - sleep. It soon is evident that the accident has damaged the communications equipment and contact with Earth is lost, and cannot be reestablished. The leadership of the mission is faced with the prospect of going
it alone and soon begin to argue obstinately about the best way to proceed.The game begins when the Unity Mission reaches Chiron. But, by this time, the mission has fallen into chaos. The most powerful leaders on board have built ideological factions and surrounded themselves with dedicated followers. It is clear that each faction has established its own agenda for the future of mankind and is desperately serious about carrying it through.
GOOD LUCK
We hope you will find a multitude of ways to solve the problems the Unity travelers face. There are nearly unlimited options and you can experiment relentlessly as you explore, discover, build and conquer. Please feel free to contact us to pass on criticism or praise, or just your point of view, at WWW.FIRAXIS.COM. Have fun and Good Luck. - FIRAXIS Games
