War in the Pacific:
Admiral’s Edition Updated!
The first official v1.00.84 update for the WWII Pacific monster strategy
game is now available!
Matrix Games, 2by3 Games
and Henderson Field Designs are pleased to announce that the first official
update for War in the Pacific: Admiral’s
Edition, the sequel to the legendary
War in the Pacific, is now
available. This
v1.00.84 update includes over 200 changes, fixes and improvements to the
original release.
Of particular note are a
set of new configuration switches to better support the newest dual and quad
core processors, as well as four new scenarios (including “Quiet China”
variants), interface improvements and improvements to surface combat and
pilot training as well as other areas of gameplay. Most of these
improvements and fixes can be applied to existing games in progress simply
by loading the saved game and continuing play. The full set of changes is
documented in detail in the included update readme file.
David Heath, Director of
Operations at Matrix Games, said “Henderson Field Designs have put together
a quality update in a little over a month since release that addresses the
issues reported as well as making a number of great improvements.
War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition
delivers quality and immersive gameplay at a level of detail and realism you
can’t get anywhere else and it just got better!”
War in
the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition
is the result of many
additional man-years of development from a dedicated and experienced team
including subject matter experts and experienced programmers. This has
resulted in an improved War in the
Pacific experience across the board. This is the entire
War in the Pacific down to
individual aircraft, vehicles, ships, guns and squads – more than just a
game, it’s an encyclopedia of the war compiled from many sources to an
unmatched level of detail. Add in a much improved AI and more secure PBEM
play and you have the makings of a new classic!
War in the Pacific:
Admiral’s Edition is a
stand-alone release which does not require ownership of
War in the Pacific.
The Admiral’s Edition
installation process will not overwrite original
War in the Pacific files, but
instead the expansion installs along side the original installation of the
game and runs as a separate game.
