“Three Axis Interactive, Inc. (www.threeaxis.com) announced
today that it will be porting the incredibly popular Mac game
Nanosaur to Linux.”
“Originally developed for the Macintosh by Pangea Software,
Inc.,(www.pangeasoft.net) in Austin, Texas, Nanosaur has enjoyed
enormous success since it’s debut in 1998. Originally released
as ‘charity-ware’ by Pangea, the game was available for download
from the web and was bundled on all new iMacs by Apple Computer,
Inc. (www.apple.com). Though Pangea now sells Nanosaur as shareware
because of the server costs incurred, Three Axis will be keeping
with the spirit of the original ‘charity-ware’ concept.”
“Charity-ware encourages users to donate to charities in lieu of
paying for games. ‘We are very excited to be porting such a
visually-stunning game from the Mac,’ said Kyle Albert, the
company’s President and CEO. ‘Nanosaur is an extraordinary game,
and we can’t wait to make it available to Linux users at no
cost.’ “
