PR: Omni release Oni OS X port Press Rel
December 19, 2001 -- Seattle, Washington -- Play Oni, the exciting anime-styled action adventure game, on Mac OS X! Today, The Omni Group released Oni for Mac OS X. If you currently own a copy of Oni for Mac OS 9, visit http://www.omnigroup.com/games/oni/ to get this great game up and running on Mac OS X.

Omni is dedicated to supporting the Mac OS X platform, and porting popular games to Apple's new platform is an essential part of Omni's efforts. Wil Shipley, Omni President states, "Oni is one of my four favorite games of all time. I played it all the way through twice, and still want more. If you haven't played Oni yet, I highly recommend it. We didn't make any money on this port and won't make any money by having people buy boxed Oni -- we just think it's a totally great game and we wanted it on OS X. Plus, it was great experience -- it was one of our first ports of a modern non-Quake-based game (although now we've done three of them). Thanks to GodGames for letting us work on this incredibly fun project. "

If you haven't visited Omni's Games site, come take a look . Omni is constantly working on ports of new and exciting games for Mac OS X, so continue to check back often for new stuff.

PR: Ambrosia releases Deimos Rising Press Rel
Rochester, NY -- December 6, 2001 -- Ambrosia Software, Inc. released today Deimos Rising, the much-anticipated sequel to the smash hit Mars Rising. Deimos Rising is a fast-action, smooth-scrolling, heart-stopping, arcade-style game that's sure to hyphenate your social life.

This sequel is about revenge. And not yours. Mars Rising's big brother is here, and he's pissed off. David Wareing has once again crafted a masterpiece of twitch gaming bliss that combines killer graphics, sounds, music, and action into an experience that'll leave you breathless.
