SCATOLOGIC RELEASES THE LONG AWAITED BATTLESPHERE(tm) FOR JAGUAR AND DONATES ALL
PROFITS TO DIABETES RESEARCH
February 29, 2000
For immediate release:
CAPITOLA, CA -- Scatologic Inc. is pleased to announce that the long awaited
BattleSphere(tm) for the Atari Jaguar platform will soon ship, and that all
profits from the game will be donated to diabetes research.
BattleSphere(tm) is the awesome full 3D networked action shooter for the Atari
Jaguar. The game was developed by renowned Jaguar, NUON, PSX2 and PC developer
4Play, which recently merged with Scatologic Inc. to form the newest industry
powerhouse development team.
The highly anticipated BattleSphere(tm) combines the fast-action gameplay of a
first person shooter with the nonlinear aspects of a strategic campaign
simulator. Also included on the same cartridge are several additional play
variations which range from a pure classic arcade action game to a multi-player
networked deathmatch mode, where up to 32 players can dogfight for control of
the Universe. The game garnered acclaim from players when it was demonstrated at
the World Of Atari show in 1998, and it has received glowing praise from
industry leading publications like Next Generation Magazine and
Diehard Gamefan magazine.
BattleSphere(tm) was completed several years ago, but the release has been
pending for some time due to the fact that the Jaguar ceased to be a mainstream
platform, and the software, tooling, and procedures required to produce
cartridges were lost and had to be recreated.
