Indie Game of the Year, Wild Earth, to Become Major Motion Simulator Attraction

Wild EarthSan 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.
