Milestone
Hollywood, Ca., (May 16, 2005) –
Legacy Interactive, known for its expertise in developing
entertaining PC games based on the hottest properties on television,
is pleased to announce that the upcoming title ER, has gone
gold and been released to manufacturing. Shipping later this
month for PC CD-ROM, the ER game is licensed by Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment and will be published by Legacy
Interactive and distributed by Vivendi Universal Games. ER
will have an SRP of $29.95.
ER captures the intensity and unpredictability of the
award-winning television series. With celebrities Noah Wyle, Mekhi
Phifer and Sherry Stringfield lending their voice and likeness to
the game, fans will get a chance to interact with their favorite
characters from the show. Starting as a newly hired intern at
Chicago’s County General Hospital, the player’s skills are quickly
put to the test as they come head-to-head with challenges ranging
from the day-to-day drama of the emergency room to the frenzy of
widespread toxicological epidemics. The player will also have to
take on hospital politics and establish personal relationships -
even romances!
ER is the first game to utilize Legacy Interactive’s STORI
game development technology. This highly-developed technology
facilitates the creation of engaging and distinctive story-telling
capabilities. With ER, Legacy Interactive is utilizing this
technology to create a one-of-a-kind gameplay experience which
combines open-ended “sandbox” play with mission-based directives,
all building from the ER universe. The combination of both gameplay
mechanics makes for an authenitic ER gaming experience.
