Nanosaur II screenshots


Pangea made public the first screenshots for their upcoming game, . "Hatchling" is the sequel to the popular Nanosaur game, originally released in 1998. This time the player pilots a pteradactyl and travels to other planets. “Fans of the original game are going to be blown away with what we’ve done in this one,” said Brian Greenstone, President of Pangea. The developer expects Nanosaur II to ship in early 2004, but an exact date has not yet been set. The game will run on a 600Mhz or greater G4 Mac, with a 32MB video card.

    original was awful

    Yes, the original was absolutely terrible. But people ooh and aah over every piece of c*** put out there, so I'm not surprised that there have been big fans of the original Nanosaur.

    Yes but

    The original relied on QuickDraw3D and not OpenGL if I remember right, which in itself was quite a good quality / hardware requirements ratio.

    hardware requirements

    The cool thing about the original game was that it ran so well on the original iMacs. My kids would play it for hours in rapture. Yes, we sent Pangea money for other games as well. We won't be sending them money for this one, because we still have (and are quite happy with) our two 400 MHz iMac DV systems!

    Original Nanosaur

    Hey, the original version ran on a 233 Mhz G3 iMac with 2MB of video Ram (Rage II).
    Sure it looked ugly, but it ran quite well.

    Don't compare it to a 2003 128MB video card running on a G5.
