Gates of Troy retails for $19.99 from the Matrix Games Online Store for the downloadable version. The DVD box version will be $29.99 plus shipping, again, available in two weeks. The game is fully backwards compatible with the previous game Spartan and supports the previous Spartan campaigns and scenarios but does not require Spartan to run.
