Guildford,
Surrey - September 2001. The Reservoir Gods
announce the
imminent release of "Chu
Chu Rocket"; an arcade puzzle game
for the
Atari STe and Falcon030.
"Chu Chu Rocket" originally
appeared on the 128-bit Sega Dreamcast
console and immediately gained critical
acclaim for its innovative
and addictive
gameplay.
"Chu Chu Rocket"
is a game for 1 to 4 players. It incorporates
a
number of different modes of play
including a four player battles,
single
player puzzle levels and co-operative challenge
stages.
The base machine for the
game is the Atari STe, it was felt that
this
was the minimum requirement to
achieve a comparable gaming experience
to the 128-bit original. The extra hardware
features of this machine
are used to
their fullest extent, including the blitter,
extended
palettes, jaguar pad support
and stereo sampled sound.
The
game features graphics by "shTHREE"
and new Reservoir Gods member
"neo".
It also has an unprecedented 14 pieces of
exclusive new Sid-
Sound music composed
by the award winning "MSG".
All the original sound effects from
the DreamCast version have been
sampled
for this version, including all the sampled
speech.
The game features 100
levels of puzzles across 4 different worlds,
25
levels of multiplayer gaming and
25 challenge stages. There are extra
secret features which get unlocked on completing
sections of the
game.
Reservoir
Gods were formed in 1994 as a software team
developing
products for Atari computers.
There releases to date include the
games "Double Bobble 2000", "Tautology
2", "SkyFall", "Static"
and
"Bunion Canyon". They
have also created the art package "GodPaint",
GameBoy emulator "GodBoy",
Nintendo NES emulator "GodleNES"
and have
been responsible for the disk
magazine "Maggie".
After
a period of inactivity, they are now hard
at work creating new
products for the
Atari platform, ably supported by new members
"neo"
and technical specialist
"Griff" (formerly of "Inner
Circle").
"Chu Chu Rocket"
is set to ship in October 2001.
