COMMAND & CONQUER TIBERIAN SUN GOES GOLD

Westwood Celebrates Completion of the Third and Most Anticipated Installment in the Command & Conquer Universe

LAS VEGAS, NV, Aug. 2, 1999 - Westwood Studios today announced that couriers have been sent to duplication plants around the globe with the final version of 1999's most anticipated game, Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun(TM). The game will start shipping soon and is scheduled to hit retail shelves worldwide on Aug. 27.

Command & Conquer is the most successful computer strategy game franchise in history with better than 10 million units sold worldwide. The demand for Tiberian Sun has been unprecedented, with game journalists from around the world traveling to Westwood to see the game, hundreds of fan websites springing up on the Internet, and retailers ordering copies in record numbers.

Consumer who pre-order Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun from Babbage's, Electronics Boutique or the Westwood online store will get a chance to purchase the limited Platinum Edition, in which only 50,000 will be available.

Set in the early 21st century, Tiberian Sun once again pits the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) against the Brotherhood of NOD in an epic struggle for control of the planet. With an engaging storyline that unfolds as play progresses, players will learn the reason for the outbreak of Tiberium that has poisoned the Earth, and what happened to the notorious NOD leader Kane, who was presumed dead at the end of Command & Conquer.

Tiberian Sun features an all-new game engine and improved controls that will allow players to command their forces with even greater ease. Westwood has created a more exciting and dangerous battlefield with dynamic 3D terrain, realistic physics and a fully reactive environment. Explosions leave craters. Lakes and rivers freeze. Ion storms cripple high-tech weapons. Forest fires rage out of control, and winds carry poison gas clouds.

Multiple levels of warfare allow players to cripple opponents from afar or get up close and personal in an all-out ground war. GDI and NOD have distinct styles, units and abilities, providing unlimited tactical and strategic choices in the struggle for global domination.

Players can travel under, over, or on the terrain as they employ devastating new weapons, including the Devil's Tongue, Hunter-Seeker Drones, Jump-Jet Infantry, Disruptors, Stealth Generators, genetically engineered cyborgs, the Firestorm Defense and many more.

Dynamic colored lighting brings the mood and atmosphere alive. Stealth missions are set in the deep blue of early night. Bases on full alert come alive with sirens and spotlights in search of intruders.

Tiberian Sun features enhanced Local Area Network and Internet play. Up to 8 players can engage in fierce combat over a LAN and players can go head-to-head via the Internet and Westwood Online. Find and challenge opponents from all over the world with just the click of a button without ever leaving the Tiberian Sun environment. A built-in worldwide ranking system allows players to track their victories and defeats against other Internet gamers. Expanded multiplayer options also include random Battle Map(tm) generation, Battle Clan(tm) support, and four new handicapping controls.

Tiberian Sun's minimum system requirements are a Pentium 166 MHz with 32 MB of RAM, a quad-speed CD drive, a 16-bit sound card, and a Direct X(tm) compatible video card.
