Sierra Studios and Troika Games Offer Consumers the Chance to be Immortalized in Arcanum "Get in the Game!" Contest Gives Fans a Chance to Star in Upcoming Game!

BELLEVUE, WA (February 12, 2001) -Sierra Studios and Troika Games today announced that gamers will soon have a chance to be immortalized in their upcoming role-playing game (RPG), Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura through the "Get in the Game!" contest. The campaign offers RPG fans the holy grail of gaming - a chance to be in the actual game.

On Tuesday, February 13th the companies will post part of a riddle on a special website. A new part of the riddle will then be posted weekly until March 9th, and the first person to correctly solve it all will get to have a character named after him or her in Arcanum, due to be released this Summer.

All five riddles will need to be deciphered in order to piece together the final, mind-bending puzzle.

The riddles will be posted weekly Here and fans will email their guesses to arcanumcontest@sierra.com. The official Arcanum website can be found at http://arcanum.sierra.com/.

Official rules for the contest can be found Here.

Arcanum is the first game to come from the development house Troika Games, LLC, started by former Fallout(r) team members Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, and Jason Anderson. The experienced Arcanum development team reunites many of the original development team from the critically acclaimed Fallout(r) and Fallout 2(r) RPGs.

Arcanum creates a compelling new world where magic and technology coexist in an uneasy balance. As Arcanum opens, the mechanical age has only recently arrived in this ancient land where Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and other races have learned to coexist in the new sprawling industrialized cities.

But this radical shift from magic to technology has created a potentially explosive situation. While the townspeople and other thinkers begin mass production of light bulbs, batteries, eyeglasses and guns, the Mages grow leery. This tightly-wound setting is the starting point from which the character must set out on his quest.

Arcanum allows gamers to assume the role of multiple pre-existing characters or create their own, and provides many paths to explore the game world, ensuring the highest degree of replay ability. Meanwhile, the multiplayer component extends the life of the game and appeals to a large fan base that enjoys cooperative and competitive play.
