Computer and video game publisher Gathering of Developers, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., and FireFly Studios announce that the multiplayer demo for "Firefly Studios' Stronghold" is now available. This groundbreaking PC game delivers a medieval European experience drenched with absorbing gameplay and meticulous graphic detail.

"Stronghold," a unique castle simulation, adds the best aspects of a city builder to the real-time strategy genre. In their January 2002 Issue, Computer Gaming World called the game "one of the best strategy games this year." The new multiplayer demo allows players to compete against a friend in explosive medieval warfare, play two full single player missions with over 20 buildings to choose from, or jump right into the action with a castle siege.
