First Class Simulations

20TH OCTOBER 2004: N.A.S.C.R. Computer Game Distributor of the Year 2003, Contact Sales Limited, has launched a dedicated label for the company's PC flight and train sim products called First Class Simulations. Previously published under the Contact Sales umbrella, the new brand will start to appear with immediate effect. "The new name reflects our determination to further develop the successful flight and train sim business we've built up over the past seven years," commented managing director, Robert Stallibrass.

The new name accurately reflects the key values of the brand and is a consumer-friendly proposition at retail," he continued.

Wings of Power: World War II Heavy Bombers and Jets is the first product to be released under the new badge. The game was recently awarded a 100% review score from respected US game site www.gamevortex.com and is available from Friday, 22nd October.

First Class Simulations' new logo fits perfectly with both those of Contact Sales and the company's PC computer game publishing division, Excalibur Publishing.
