Game--Nanosaur II: Hatchling is Out in Final

Pangea Software, Inc., officially released their latest Macintosh game, Nanosaur II: Hatchling. Nanosaur 2 is available for immediate download from several sources including the Pangea Software web site, Mac Game Files, and your iDisk. Apple’s .Mac customers who download the full version of the game from their iDisk get a special bonus: they can play additional levels in demo mode.

The download version of Nanosaur 2 runs in a limited demo mode until a serial number is purchased for $24.95. The boxed CD version of Nanosaur 2 will start shipping on March 19th, but pre-orders are now being taken on the Pangea Software web site. The CD version costs $34.95, and comes with two pairs of red/cyan 3D glasses. The game also works with shutter lenses on CRT monitors.

Last weekend, we downloaded the inadvertently-released beta version and played it. The original Nanosaur, released free on the early iMacs, is one of our all time favorite computer games. Unfortunately, it didn't make it to Mac OS X. But in comparison, Nanosaur 2 is terrific, clearly the best yet from Pangea Software. The color and rendering is fabulous. We haven't found a set of red/cyan 3D glasses yet to check out that feature.
