Atari Discovers Rift In Space-Time Continuum: Temple of Elemental Evil to Ship September 16

Popular Dungeons & Dragons World of Greyhawk to Make First Interactive PC Appearance

LOS ANGELES – Sept. 12, 2003 – Atari and Troika Games are pleased to announce that The Temple of Elemental Evil™ will now ship on September 16th and not September 23rd as previously reported. After years of research into the science of time travel and the mysticism of interactive entertainment distribution, Atari has achieved a breakthrough in the melding of the two disciplines. As a result of this revolutionary achievement, The Temple of Elemental Evil will now appear on retail stores shelves nationwide seven days earlier than originally anticipated.

Published by Wizards of the Coast, the World of Greyhawk, remains one of the most popular Dungeons & Dragons® campaign settings of all time and will make its first interactive appearance with the September 16th release of The Temple of Elemental Evil. The Temple of Elemental Evil will feature an exciting party-based single player campaign, an engaging storyline based on the classic D&D® adventure of the same name as well as a faithful translation of the latest 3.5 edition rules.
