LUCAS LEARNING® RELEASES STAR WARS® PIT DROIDS® - A GALAXY FULL OF MIND-BENDING LOGIC GAMES

Players Guide Pit Droids Through Challenging Mazes and Puzzles in Game for PC and Macintosh

San Rafael, Calif. -- September 13, 1999 - Lucas Learning Ltd. today announced the release of Star Wars Pit Droids, a challenging and fast-paced Star Wars: Episode I puzzle game. The open-ended puzzles in Star Wars Pit Droids have multiple "right" answers, and the puzzles become more complex as the player masters each level. Players must gather and use evidence, form and test hypotheses, and develop and use logical reasoning skills, while dealing with various mathematical concepts such as attributes, geometry, numeracy sets and networks. The puzzles combined with the Star Wars universe make learning fun!

Star Wars Pit Droids offers four modes of gameplay: Explore, Game, Build and Play. With the Puzzle Maker option in Build Mode, players create their own puzzles - and can send them as an email attachment - to challenge their friends. Eight game levels challenge players to reach Star Wars Pit Droids puzzle mastery.

In Star Wars Pit Droids, surly junk trader Watto beckons players to explore more than 300 interactive puzzles. The game features endless rows of pit droids in six realistic Star Wars-inspired environments, including Watto's Shop, the open desert, a Podracer hangar, and the interior of a transport ship. Wacky droids come in a variety of colors and models, and march under their own power. Without the player's guidance, they march straight off the edge of the world, but will eventually arrive at their correct destinations through game players' trial and error.
