Battle Isle 4 announced

Battle Isle 4 announced: Blue Byte Software today announced details of the long-awaited sequel to their classic strategy game, Battle Isle.

Battle Isle 4 announced puts another piece of PC gear into the September hardware pile, and 1999 is not exactly short on that right now.

Blue Byte Software today announced details of the long-awaited sequel to their classic strategy game, Battle Isle. Battle Isle 4: Children Of Haris is currently in development and expected to be released during Autumn 2000 on PC CD-Rom, picking up seamlessly on the scenario and success of its best-selling predecessors. The 35-year-long Robot War from Battle Isle I, the inaugural episode of the series, are memories in a distant and hazy past.

The hardware race is getting mean, and the upside is simple: gamers keep getting faster, stranger toys to bolt into their rigs.
