Classic Game Gets Next Gen Makeover for Award-Winning Game Controller
(Albuquerque, NM – October 30, 2007) – Novint Technologies, Inc. (NVNT), the pioneer of 3D touch for consumer computing, has acquired the 3D touch rights to the PC version of the hit game, Crystal Quest from Stainless Games. The groundbreaking title is the latest addition to Novint’s rapidly expanding game lineup. Stainless has also licensed the game to Xbox 360 Live Arcade, Windows Vista and various Mobile platforms.
Stainless will add Novint’s patented 3D touch technology to the fan favorite, which has updated graphics, enhanced special effects, and exciting new gameplay features. Using the Falcon, players feel momentum and inertia, weapon blasts, and impacts with enemies and other objects as they pilot a ship through 60 waves of frantic action, collecting crystals in each wave.
“Crystal Quest is a true classic that we’re excited to add to the Falcon game line-up,” said Novint CEO, Tom Anderson. “As the very first color title released for the Mac, it holds a solid place in history, so it’s fitting that it incorporates our 3D touch technology that takes gaming to a new level.”
Stainless’ CEO and Crystal Quest creator, Patrick Buckland added, “We’re delighted to be working with Novint, a company that shares our passion for pushing the boundaries of modern gaming. The Falcon version of Crystal Quest adds a new level of excitement and intensity to the game.”
Crystal Quest will be available for download from N VeNT™, Novint’s interface to Falcon games, information, software updates, unique content, and community. The Novint Falcon bundle, which includes Newton’s Monkey Business (24 minigames) and the Feelin’ It: Sports Pack, is available for $239 at www.novintfalcon.com, J&R Music, and at CompUSA stores nationwide.
