DRAKAN Sighting Sweepstakes has been revealed today, giving us one more thing to watch as 1999 keeps getting louder. Gearing up for the June 1999 launch of acclaimed PC CD-ROM action/adventure, DRAKAN Order of the Flame, Psygnosis will entice consumers to download the demo and buy the title with a huge online-only sweepstakes, beginning May 7th and continuing for seven weeks through June 18th. Consumers will flock to the Drakan website to win a multitude of prizes, up to $30,000 worth of computers, hi-end peripherals and DRAKAN memorabilia. A host of key sponsors are supporting the Dragon Sighting Sweepstakes including AMD, Creative Labs, 3dfx, Diamond Multimedia, nVIDIA, Hewlett Packard and Electronics Boutique. The DRAKAN Sighting Sweepstakes is designed to drive potentially millions of worldwide web users to the DRAKAN website.

It may not be the same thrill as a fresh demo, but this stuff shapes what actually reaches players. Boring paperwork today can turn into games on shelves tomorrow.
