Espoo, Finland - March 2, 2006 - Nokia today announced that it has shipped Civilization^TM the classic empire-building strategy game from Atari. Recognized as one of the greatest games of all time, fans of the franchise will now have the chance to revisit Civilization anytime, anywhere.

Combining an addictive blend of building, exploration, discovery and conquests, Civilization allows players to pit their wits against some of the greatest leaders in history as they strive to build the ultimate civilization.

From humble beginnings in less than comfortable surroundings like mud huts, players will have the chance to build their wealth, influence and diplomatic profile as they move through the game. Gamers are tasked with a mission to create the most powerful culture on the planet by means of eliminating all other civilizations or via the Space race option - the choice is theirs.

"The addition of Sid Meier's strategy masterpiece to the N-Gage games catalogue creates a brand new way in which Civilization fans can enjoy this classic title," said Gregg Sauter, director, games publishing, Nokia.

The legacy of one of history's most popular strategy games continues on the N-Gage platform.
