Wellington, NZ - April 30, 2004 - Game development studio Sidhe Interactive celebrated winning not only the Creative Gold category at last nights' annual Wellington Region Gold Awards ceremony, but also a win in the overall category, the Supreme Gold award. The awards, now in their 6th year, celebrate commercial enterprise and excellence in the region.
