Pangea Software, Inc.—creators of popular games such as Bugdom, Otto Matic and Cro-Mag Rally—today announced they have officially released their latest Macintosh game, Nanosaur II: Hatchling.

Nanosaur 2 is available for immediate download from several sources, including the Pangea Software website, Mac Game Files and iDisk. Apple's .Mac customers who download the full version of the game from their iDisk get a special bonus: they can play additional levels in demo mode.

The download version of Nanosaur 2 runs in a limited demo mode until a serial number is purchased for $24.95. The boxed CD version of Nanosaur 2 will start shipping on March 19th, but pre-orders are now being taken on the Pangea Software website. The CD version costs $34.95, and comes with two pairs of 3D glasses.

"The initial response to the game has been astounding!" said Brian Greenstone, president of Pangea Software. "The visuals in Nanosaur 2 far exceed what most people were expecting, and the gameplay and all-out fun-factor of the game are really making an impression."

Nanosaur II: Hatchling is the sequel to the popular 1998 game Nanosaur, but—unlike its predecessor—Nanosaur 2 has multiple levels including six 2-player levels with modes such as Racing, Capture-the-Flag, and Battle. Additionally, Nanosaur 2 supports the optional use of 3D glasses for a truly immersive 3D experience. Both anaglyph and shutter glasses are supported.

Additional information can be found on the Nanosaur 2 homepage. Movie clips from the game can be seen in an exclusive preview at Inside Mac Games. An Applelinks review will be posted later this month.
