Lycoris is applying its unique brand of polish and simplification to five of the top Open Source Linux games in a simple to install, supported package. The GamePak includes Racer, Possible Worlds, BZFlag, FreeCiv, and Falcon’s Eye. BZFlag offers first person tank battle action, with networked play for an intense, online experience. Racer puts users in the driver’s seat of the hottest cars, with high definition graphics for realistic racing action and uses real car physics to provide a true, high speed feeling. Smoke, skidmarks, sparks, sun, flares and vertex-color lit tracks enhance the realism. Possibile Worlds offers 3D, underwater action from the cockpit of a futuristic submersible. Multiple missions and artificially intelligent enemies enhance dog fights in the deep. FreeCiv grants users the ultimate power as rulers of their own civilization where the goal is to build cultures over thousands of years, defend boarders, conquer neighbors, or win the space race for supreme victory. For the dungeon gamer, Falcon’s Eye pits users’ wits against the dark dungeon and it’s denizens as they explore the cavernous mazes that are randomly generated for unique play every time.
“Games have always been one of the main uses for the home PC. Desktop/LX users now have a high-octane option for turning their PC into a game station using our OS,” explains Mike Weltz, Sales Director for Lycoris. “Breaking down barriers which allow users to use Desktop/LX as their primary home OS is what Lycoris is all about, and Transgaming’s WineX coupled with our games for $34.95 doesn’t just kick the door down, it blows the hinges off.”
This exciting, new Pak from Lycoris includes access to TransGaming’s WineX cross-platform gaming technology for one free month . “Not only will GamePak users experience rivetting action in blockbusters like Warcraft� III, Grand Theft Auto 3�, Diablo� II and Max Payne�,” states TransGaming’s Director of Marketing Cathy Tanner, “each new WineX release adds the latest and hottest games to the over 150-title list available today.”
