Fancy playing the original Carrier Command on a Commodore computer in this day and age? Well, if you are in the vicinity of Gamerbase Trocadero on the 2nd day of the London Games Festival between 10 am and 6 pm, you’ll get the opportunity to do exactly that on a large LCD screen in fact. This event is held to to celebrate the release of Bohemia Interactive’s bold re-imagining Carrier Command: Gaea Mission.
Whilst the old retro title will certainly look dated, its sandbox gameplay remains cutting edge. Gamers will also get to try out Gaea Mission and if you do not have the chance to visit London, you can get to try out the game in the following HMV Gamerbase locations: HMV Manchester, 90 Market Street; HMV Edinburgh, 130 Princes Street, HMV Glasgow, 235 Buchanan Street.
Everyone who plays the game in-store on Friday 28th September will be entered into a draw to win a brand new Xbox 360. There’s one console up for grabs at each Gamerbase. “What better way to illustrate the fact that the original gameplay remains so enticing than to put both old and new side by side,” says James Cato, Group Sales Director, Mastertronic. “Hosting this special celebration at HMV’s flagship Gamerbase is a fitting way to launch Carrier Command: Gaea Mission to a new generation, as well as highlighting its origins to fans of the original.”
To join in the fun, head to HMV Gamerbase at the Trocadero between 10:00am and 6:00pm on Friday, September 28th 2012. Carrier Command: Gaea Mission will be released by Mastertronic on Friday, September 28th 2012 for Xbox 360 and PC.
