Indie Game of the Year, Wild Earth, to Become
Major Motion Simulator Attraction
 San
Diego, CA - 11/11/2003 -- Super X Studios®, creators
of Wild Earth®, the 2003 Independent
Games Festival Game of the Year, are joining forces
with the Entertainment Technology Corporation (EnTCo),
of Philadelphia, PA, to produce a motion simulator-based
version of Wild Earth for zoos, amusement
parks, and other location-based entertainment venues.
The all-ages experience sends two participants - a
driver and a photographer - on a trek through the Serengeti
in an exciting photo-safari. Unlike traditional motion
simulator ride-films, the Wild Earth experience
is completely interactive, allowing each team to navigate
their own adventure, experiencing the rich, educationally
stimulating environment and wildlife provided by the
state-of-the-art Super X game engine. EnTCo's X-Speed
motion platform provides a matching visceral experience,
with synchronized acceleration, bumps, tilts, and turns
for total immersion.
Super X Studios and EnTCo will be previewing the Wild
Earth ride in booth #841 at the IAAPA Orlando
2003 trade convention (www.iaapaorlando.com)
from November 19th to the 22nd. The PC retail version
of Wild Earth is also under development
and slated for a 2005 worldwide release.
