SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Oct. 23, 1995 — Gamers will don flight jackets and all the courage they can muster as Atari Corp.'s "Hoverstrike: Unconquered Lands" for the Jaguar 64 CD player hits stores Monday.

The mission: Pilot a state-of-the-art armored hovercraft, equipped with a rapid-fire cannon and powerful missiles, to save colonists stranded on a distant planet.

"'Hoverstrike: Unconquered Lands' is an intense space-action game with enhanced cinematic effects to take full advantage of Jaguar CD capabilities," said Ted Hoff, Atari's president of North American Operations. "It is our first of more than 20 CD titles releasing soon for the Jaguar CD."

"Hoverstrike: Unconquered Lands" engulfs players in intense battle action with realistic hovercraft simulation. It features 40 different fully texture-mapped 3-D levels, including several challenging Night Vision missions and 10 new missions developed specifically for the CD version of the game.
