Fourth Title from The Groove Alliance on shockwave.com Debuts
Los Angeles, CA, March 14, 2001 -- The Groove Alliance [www.3dgroove.com],
the next-generation entertainment and technology development company, today
announced the launch of Death From Above: World War I Arcade Dogfighting, a
3D, browser-based, aerial dogfighting action and flight simulator game, on
AtomShockwave?s award-winning interactive and gaming Web site
www.shockwave.com. Death From Above: World War I Arcade Dogfighting places
players at the flight stick of WWI fighter planes and engages them in
perilous dogfight-style combat.
"We are constantly pushing our browser-based technology?s scalability and
flexibility to its limits by creating games in multiple genres -- first with
Real Pool 3D, then the action adventure Tank Wars, followed by the
first-person shooter game Alien X, and now with Death From Above, our flight
simulator for the casual market," said Chris Kantrowitz, CEO and co-founder
of The Groove Alliance.
Death From Above: World War I Arcade Dogfighting sets players above France
in 1914 during the dawn of air-to-air combat. The player chooses from four
different planes, each representing a different nation. Virtual pilots fly
their planes to victory as they earn medals with each completed mission.
High-resolution terrain and beautiful surroundings make for a great gameplay
experience.
Death From Above: World War I Arcade Dogfighting is the latest addition to
The Groove Alliance's extensive library of titles produced with 3D Groove,
the company?s Internet gaming platform. 3D Groove games are accessible and
playable by all online gamers and do not require any additional hardware or
graphics cards. Death From Above: World War I Arcade Dogfighting is the
fourth game by The Groove Alliance to be offered on shockwave.com.
Recently, the companies launched Alien X, a first-person shooter-style title
for the casual gamer. Currently, the Company's Real Pool 3D and Tank Wars
games are two of the top played titles on shockwave.com, each receiving over
1.5 million plays per month.
