100,000 Units of Mortyr To Ship

Mortyr has received great retail acceptance and is expected to be one of the largest iMagic retail launches since Apache, and is expected to head to stores over 100,000 units to retail.

100,000 Units of Mortyr To Ship is the story today, and it is the kind of late-April 1999 news blast that makes the pre-E3 season feel like someone kicked the hornet nest. iMagicGames is launching the Company’s dynamic new product line with a bang, with Mortyr, the much-anticipated 3D Shooter. Mortyr has received great retail acceptance and is expected to be one of the largest iMagic retail launches since Apache, and is expected to head to stores over 100,000 units to retail. Mortyr is already being praised by software reviewers around the world and recaptures the furious excitement of Wolfenstein 3D, the groundbreaking WWII Action game that jump-started the Shooter genre in the early 1990s. Mortyr, which will be playable through DirectPlay at GameHub and shortly through the iLZ, Interactive Magic’s designated Internet matching service.

Bottom line: if this is your kind of game, start watching the download pages and store shelves. April has been stupidly busy, and this one just joined the pile.
