Tantalus Announces Trick Star for GBA
Tantalus Interactive is happy to announce that it has entered
into a publishing and distribution agreement with Oxygen
Interactive's Liquid Games label to release Trick Star on
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance platform. Tantalus is one of the
world's foremost handheld game developers, having recently
shipped the award winning MX vs ATV: On the Edge on
PlayStation Portable. Tantalus has also developed seven
titles for GBA, including the highly acclaimed Top Gear
Rally, published by Nintendo in 2003.
Trick Star is an extreme, futuristic racer, built around the
fantastical sport of Trick Star Racing. Competitors chose
from a variety of tricked-out, one-wheeled stunt bikes on
which they race and perform an array of crafty tricks and
maneuvers. The game features a 3D bike and rider with
real-time animation and a fully configurable stunt system
that allows over 40 uniquely animated stunts to be linked
together.
Tantalus CEO Tom Crago says that Trick Star looks set to be
one of the most impressive racing games ever to grace the
GBA. "With Top Gear Rally we set a new benchmark in terms of
graphics and gameplay. We have pushed the boundaries even
further still with Trick Star, and created an entirely
original game style and a title that is just packed with
features. There really is nothing like this on the
GBA."
"Tantalus have delivered a lovely title here, and it's a
great addition to the range," Liquid Games' Kevin Hassall
confirmed. "It has been a pleasure working with Tantalus, and
we're confident that Trick Star, which manages to be
immediately accessible and wonderfully innovative, will
provide an engrossing experience for our consumers."
Trick Star continues the Tantalus tradition of bringing to
market original titles based upon the company's own
intellectual property. For more information, including

Trick Star will ship in Summer 2006. For further enquiries
