Memorial Day charity fundraiser for gamers
For Immediate Release
May 29th, 2006 - In honor of Memorial Day,
Sillysoft Games (www.sillysoft.net) has
announced that 100 percent of American History Lux proceeds
from now until Friday, June 2nd will be donated to charity.
Specifically to the Carter Center (www.cartercenter.org), which seeks to "wage peace,
fight disease, and build hope."
American History Lux is a new strategy game that takes
players through the history of the ten wars that have most
shaped America. Each war comes as a map containing the real
geographical layout marking
the important cities, forts, and regions of the conflict.
It's available to download now for PC, Macintosh, and
Linux.
"It's easy to gloss over the harsh reality of conflict when
playing a computer war game. Sillysoft feels a responsibility
to give something back in honor of the men and women who have
fought and died to bring us the liberties that we take for
granted every day," said Sillysoft President Dustin Quasar
Sacks. "This charity fundraiser is a great way for people to
donate to a good cause and get a fun game that will teach
them some history at the same time."
Sillysoft has set up a special Memorial Day webpage with
information on the charity sale, and where the final amount
raised will be posted. http://sillysoft.net/ahl/memorial/
