Summary: Based on the ancient legend of the Gordonopian "Rager", warriors who had the ability to have the fight appear to them at slow motion, with them at normal speed, allowing them to kill dozens without even being wounded. This game set in 2165 puts you as a "Rage Commando", and elite warrior with rager abilities, in the fictional Gordonopian Star Empire. Fighting with the most high tech armor and weapons against the Kjeldoran Union, and equally powerful empire that was thought to have gone extinct nearly 300 years earlier.
The game also comes with an excellent multiplayer mode, with G-Connect Capabilities. You can be either a Gordonopian star trooper or Rage commando, a Kjeldoran Marine or Berserker, or a Rebel Foot Soldier or Elite. Maps range from office buildings, to small villages, to cities, and even entire counties that require vehicles to move around in. With the capability to have up to 120 other players (40 per team) on the largest maps, every battle will seem real.

I would like to propose a free trade agreement in terms of Information Technology and Gamming. If you are interested get back too me ASAP.

free trade as in what?

My country wishes to imports goods from your countries in terms of Information Technology such as Consoles and Games you have in stock. We maybe able to do a good deal.

so, place an order then. Our company is just that a company. We are not part of the government, so we cannot create free trade.

Very well then. I would like to buy the rights of the Regional Distributor to distribute all of Gordonopian Goods in my country please.

the total will be $1,000,000. Also, would you like to purchase servers?

I would like to buy 10 G-Connect Servers and also third party distribution rights.

That brings the total up to 1,500,000 USD. How many games for this year do you wish to purchase?
