"Descent 3 represents a great blend of action and high performance 3D graphics," said Scott Draeker, president of Loki Entertainment Software. "This is a new kind of game for Linux, and one which our users are sure to enjoy." Descent 3, developed by Outrage Entertainment, is a fast-paced 3D action shooter. It envelopes gamers in a frenetic 3D world of 360º of movement as they pilot ships through 15 massive, detailed levels with multiple objectives and sophisticated puzzles. Players experience intensely furious subterranean shooting action, plus the thrill of soaring above the surface, engaging in combat with enemy air and ground forces and encountering an entirely new legion of devious robots and other enemies. "We're excited to see the Linux market growing and we're very happy to be a part of it," said Matt Toschlog, President of Outrage. Jeff Slutter, who programmed the Linux version for Outrage, said, "We originally released a dedicated server version of Descent 3 for Linux and are very pleased that Loki will now bring to market the full client version." The Linux version of Descent 3 will support the Rock 'n' Ride simulator for the ultimate in gaming experiences. The Rock 'n' Ride moves a gamer and their monitor up to 55 degrees for genuine interactive motion. Descent 3 is fully optimized for Internet play with 16 players at one time. It has a suggested retail price under $30.00 (U.S. Dollars).
