CHICAGO, Ill. --- January 7, 1995 --- Brad Schick announces the debut of
Robot Battle 1.1, an exciting new strategic simulation for Microsoft
Windows 3.1 and Windows NT. Robot Battle simulates the design and building
of intelligent robots that compete in deadly combat. The goal is to devise
robots that can defeat others from all over the world. Robot Battle brings
players custom designed robots to life with stunning sound effects and
vivid real-time animation. Only robots with keen tactics, intelligence,
and adaptability will survive.

Robots are created using an event driven scripting language. Players only
need a text editor and their imagination. No previous programming
knowledge is required. In fact, Robot Battle is an excellent way to start
learning to program. Most modern computer systems are based on event
driven techniques very similar to those learned while playing Robot
Battle.

The robot scripting language actually allows for the creation of robots
that learn. As a match progresses, well-designed robots adapt to their
surroundings, enhancing performance. Several reviewers have classified
Robot Battle as an artificial intelligence simulator rather than a game.
Make no mistake, however, Robot Battle is intended for fun. "I was amazed
at the concept... Robot Battle makes it possible to write very distinctive
robots that are fun to watch in action." writes reviewer Karl Zilles.

Robot creation starts by dreaming. Players attempt to fashion robots that
can prevail in any situation. The best robots are not the strongest, but
rather the most cunning. Robot Battle is bundled with several intriguing
robots which speed the learning process. Even before players create their
own unique designs, these sample robots are exhilarating to watch. Of
course, learning to build intelligent robots is the games ultimate
challenge.

Eventually, players will want to match their wits against other skilled
robot designers. Robot Battle provides an avenue for this. Several
worldwide competitions are planned to find the greatest robots around. All
contestants will receive final results including overall contest
information and detailed individual statistics. Innovative new robots can
already be found on the Internet. The robot battle has begun.
