Naval Combat Pack Goes Gold

The Ultimate Naval Warfare Experience

Software publisher Strategy First Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Silverstar Holdings, Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSTR) and developer Sonalysts Inc, are pleased to announce that “Naval Combat Pack” has officially gone gold. “Naval Combat Pack” includes three award-winning naval simulation and strategy games from well-known developer, Sonalysts Inc.

Sonalysts Naval Combat Pack is a unique blend of simulation and strategy that allows the gamer to control every detail and give orders from the Captain's chair. Players control "billions" of dollars in modern naval hardware including nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, and fighter aircraft. Mission objectives range from strategic missile strikes and enemy surveillance, to heavy-hitting surface battles.

In addition, Sonalysts is including a bonus documentary “A Century of Silent Service” DVD which is packed with over 90 minutes of interviews (including former President Jimmy Carter), authentic historical submarine footage, and numerous bonus features.

“We’re tremendously proud of the products that we’ve created over the last ten years here at Sonalysts Combat Simulations,” says Producer Jamie Carlson. “Sonalysts is excited to share our small piece of PC gaming history with the release of the ‘Naval Combat Pack’. It is our hope that the inclusion of the ‘A Century of Silent Service’ DVD will create a collection that is not only a tremendous value, but is just so packed with modern naval content that it simply cannot be passed up by any military enthusiast.”

“The Sonalysts Naval Combat Pack combines 3 of the most successful naval games of all time”, says Pro Sotos, Business Development manager at Strategy First. “This compilation will give fans of naval simulations a chance to play some great games and to experience the evolution of that genre.”
