Deth Karz

by Beam Software GAME DESCRIPTION

This game looks a lot like POD by ubisoft, check out the screen shots at Operation 3DFX.

I received this information from a Judy Routt of Beam Software:
"Now E3 is past, we're starting to ramp up the pre-release promotion for Dethkarz, our upcoming 3DFX combat racing game. If you were lucky enough to see us at E3 you will have seen the striking high-res graphics and the screamingly-fast action and excitement this title is going to engender.

We had producers from other game developers sending over their art teams so they would know what they're up against at the forefront of this genre. Needless to say we were pretty flattered by all the attention! :)

Full specs, a list of features and more screenshots can be found online on our Dethkarz page on the Beam International site. That page is at: http://www.beam.com.au/games/dethkarz.html

We're just about ready with the Dethkarz site which will give you access to more in-depth materal about the game - I know we're planning to do spotlights on some of the team members responsible for this game amongst other things.

The title's due for release in time for Christmas 1998..."
