PRIMA’S OFFICIAL STRATEGY GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

I can still remember watching the news on television nearly 10 years ago and seeing very disturbing

images. I cannot forget the look on the face of a captured American pilot whose image was spread

throughout the news media—on television and on the cover of news magazines. American troops

were in the northeast African country of Somalia to help distribute food and relieve the famine caused

by drought and civil war. I didn't understand why our troops were being killed.

A few years later I read about the military action on the streets of Mogadishu in David H. Hack's

book Hazardous Duty . This peaked my curiousity, so when Mark Bowden's book Black Hawk Down hit

the shelves, I grabbed a copy and devoured it. What had happened to American troops astounded me.

We were fighting a new type of war, different from the one I grew up expecting during the Cold War.

So of course, when the movie based on Bowden's book was released, I was there the first day—and

impressed with how well it portrayed the book and the events. Now the events in Somalia are part of

my high school world history class during the unit on modern Africa.

When I first heard that NovaLogic was planning a game based on this event, I was very

interested in the project. So when I was offered the opportunity to write the strategy guide for the

game, I jumped at the chance. I was not disappointed. Delta Force—Black Hawk Down puts the

player right in the middle of

the conflict, and provides a

realistic experience to gamers.
