The spirits of wargaming past, present and future are coming to your door with lots of great deals!

With a bundle of discounts on strategy games, Matrix Games is spreading holiday joy by announcing their 2008 Holiday Sale Event!  This is set to be the largest Holiday sale Matrix Games has ever had, with more games on sale than ever and the largest discounts to date!  Starting on the morning of November 26th through midnight on January 7th, gamers around the globe will be able to purchase almost every title in the Matrix Games catalog at up to 30% off!  Only games released in the past six months or those already priced at $19.99 and below are excluded.  Every other game is part of the 2008 Holiday Sale!


Please note, the Holiday Sale has now ended.  Thanks for making it a success and Happy New Year 2009!

 

 

 

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “This is about as close as I can get to coming to your house in a Santa Claus suit!  We’ve never had a Holiday Sale cover this many titles and at this great a discount before - there’s never been a better opportunity to stock up on our games. Don’t snooze through it and miss these great savings!  Our Game on Demand boxed copy is a perfect present for your favorite wargamer – it comes shrink wrapped and our Standard editions include a printed manual… it’s also quite easy to gift wrap!”

 

Looking for an extra few stocking stuffers for the extended family?  Strategy gamers will love you for getting them titles like Gary Grigsby’s War Between the States, Panzer Command: Kharkov or Advanced Tactics: World War II.  Sports fans would be delighted to find PureSim Baseball or Maximum Football v2 wrapped and ready to play under their Christmas tree. Why not stay in touch with gamer friends and family through play by email gaming (PBEM)? Matrix Games offers a wide selection of titles that support PBEM as well as TCP/IP play which give players a convenient and easy way to connect through gaming with distant family and old friends.  Try some of our newest releases like Close Combat: Wacht am Rhein, Kharkov: Disaster on the Donets, Commander: Napoleon at War or classics like The Operational Art of War III to catch up with that uncle or buddy who lives halfway across the country while pummeling him with your Panzers at the same time!  It’s the best of both worlds, not to mention bragging rights for next year…

 

Please note, the Holiday Sale has now ended.  Thanks for making it a success and Happy New Year 2009!
