Zeus Official Expansion: Poseidon Immerses Gamers in the World of Atlantis
Impressions Games' Add-On Expands on City-Building Hit Zeus: Master of Olympus
CAMBRIDGE, MA (April 11 2001) - - Impressions Games™ and Sierra™ today announced Zeus Official
Expansion: Poseidon, an add-on for their latest city-building hit: Zeus: Master of Olympus. Due on store
shelves this summer, the game takes place in the world of Atlantis, ruled by Poseidon, brother to mighty
Zeus.
Poseidon expands the scope of Impressions Games' city-building hit, Zeus: Master of Olympus to cover
more of the ancient world. In Poseidon, players will build and rule the fabled cities of Atlantis, a
kingdom of science and technology. They will mine the mysterious mineral "orichalc," establish colonies
in ancient Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia, and trade with ancient civilizations. New industries,
massive monuments, and characters unique to Atlantis expand the city-building experience presented in
Zeus: Master of Olympus. Never-before seen gods, monsters, and heroes help tell the tale as players
build Atlantis into a mighty kingdom. Players will also be able to create their own adventures in Greece
or Atlantis with a powerful, yet easy-to-use Adventure Editor.
Designed with strategy gamers of all skill level in mind, Zeus: Master of Olympus makes it simple to get
a city built and running smoothly. But running the city is only a part of mastering Zeus. Players have
to contend with driven deities who can appear in the city to cause happiness or havoc. Famous heroes
wander the countryside, and can be summoned when their help is needed. Players must defend their cities
from hostile invaders, monsters, and other Greek cities. Mixing the historical with the mythological,
Zeus is divided into quests and objectives that can be completed in about an hour, making it the ideal
diversion for both moderate gamers and hardcore strategists alike.
