1001players.com Welcomes Samsung Game Development Contest Second Runner-Up

1001players.com is releasing today Generals: Alien Colony, the mobile game from development studio Impressionware which received the bronze prize in the 2007 Samsung Game Development Contest.

Generals: Alien Colony is a very complex and addictive turn-based strategy game. The player takes control of either the human or an alien race. The game features many missions that need to be fought to reach supremacy. Missions are very elaborate and never consist of simply eliminating the enemy. The game has a very advanced artificial intelligence and is very easy to pick up but very hard to put down.

The story is set in the year 2276 A.D. After more than a century of scientific research mankind has managed to colonize space and an interplanetary alliance was born. Humans are on planet Cyren, in the seventh galaxy of Grevion VI. Here a human colony has been living in peace for more than 50 years. But peace was not to last for long…One night the sky has been filled with lights and hundreds of Zarudas spacecraft landed on Cyren. They are a brutal alien race and have been looking for a new home as their own planet is destined to collide with a star. A battle for the control of Cyren has started.

The game arrived third at the Samsung Game Development Contest in May 2007. The contest held each year rewards the best Java games designed for the latest handset of the manufacturer, here the Samsung SGH-D900 mobile phone. Generals: Alien Colony is now available at 1001players.com and for a variety of mobile handsets including Motorola, Nokia, Sagem and Sony Ericsson.
