Rune Coming to Macintosh
Gathering of Developers to Publish Macintosh Version of Human Head Studios' 3D Action-Adventure Game

Dallas, TX, June 28, 2000 - Game developer Human Head Studios today announced the development of a Macintosh version of Rune, an intense 3D action-adventure game. Published by developer-driven and video game publisher Gathering of Developers, the Macintosh version is being co-developed with Mac specialists at Westlake Interactive. The game will be distributed by Take Two Interactive's Jack of All Games and will be available in fall 2000.

"We had a great response to Rune at this year's E3 from both PC and Mac enthusiasts," said Tim Gerritsen, business development director of Human Head Studios. "Westlake did a great job with other Gathering games and we are happy to be working with them on a Mac version of Rune."

Steeped in a blend of Norse mythology and high-fantasy, Rune transports gamers into the Dark Ages, when the Vikings were the conquerors of a cold, dismal world and paganism ruled all of the northern lands. Taking on the role of Ragnar, a rugged young Viking warrior, players are challenged to fight off Nordic creatures and uncover an evil perpetrator who is annihilating the Viking population. Rune combines melee combat and exploration, with a colossal story line and an active environment, to recreate a period in history characterized by savagery and the sword. Rune utilizes a fully integrated version of the Unreal Tournament game engine.

Recently showcased at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2000 (E3), Rune was embraced by the press and won several awards, including "E3 Game of the Day," from MSNBC and "Best Action Game of E3" from Games Weekly and Game Revolution. A complete listing of E3 awards and press coverage on Rune at E3 can be found at the www.godgames.com.
