Lycoris' Desktop/LX gets "TransGaming"
Jan. 17, 2003

(PR excerpt) -- The new Lycoris GamePak gaming suite includes 5 full action-packed games in the trademark Lycoris easy install package, plus access to WineX, TransGaming Technologies' cross platform gaming software that gives users the ability to play over 150 Windows games on Desktop/LX. It isnow available for pre-purchase through the Lycoris Store.

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.

This Lycoris GamePak includes access to TransGaming's WineX cross-platform gaming technology for one free month
