Nanosaur 2 is a continuation of the original Nanosaur storyline, yet this time you get to fly a pteradactyl who's loaded with hi-tech weaponry, and the game is much larger than the original 1998 game.

Nanosaur 2 is a continuation of the original Nanosaur storyline, yet this time you get to fly a pteradactyl who's loaded with hi-tech weaponry, and the game is much larger than the original 1998 game.

In addition to the three level adventure mode where you blast enemy dinos and save eggs, there are also six two-player levels including racing, capture-the-flag, and battle.

Nanosaur II is the only game available for Mac OS X which supports both anaglyph and LCD shutter glasses for a totally immersive 3D experience.

Limitations:
The free demo lets you play Level 1 of the game.

What's New:
Universal Binary application allowing it to run on PowerPC or Intel based Macintoshes.
This version "should" be stable and run correctly, however, bugs in the Intel Dev Kit hardware/software may be evident.
The updater itself is a PowerPC application, but it should run correctly using Rosetta on the Intel-based Mac.

Requirements:
MacOS 10.2.8
iMac G4/700mhz*
512 MB RAM**
Radeon or GeForce 2 video acceleration with at least 32MB of VRAM***

IMPORTANT: The game will NOT run on older G3 iMac's with Rage 128 accelerators. Only the flat-panel G4 iMac's come with the required video acceleration, so do not buy Nanosaur 2 if you have a G3 iMac since the game is not playable on it.
** The game can run in as little as 320MB of RAM, but the load times will be longer and the game may run a little choppy at times, so 512MB is highly recommended.
* If you have an upgraded video card which is fast (such as a Radeon 8500 or better) then the game will run on a PowerMac G4 as slow as 400mhz. The faster your video card, the slower the CPU can be since it makes up the difference.
