Torus Takes 3-D Gaming to a new level on the Game Boy Advance

The 3-D system incorporates voxels (volumetric pixels) and allows full 3-D
exterior environments. This allows players to break away from predefined paths
and explore any part of the environment they wish! Rolling hills, sloping roads,
dangerous cliffs – they’re all there for the player to discover.

What it spells to players is freedom. What it spells to the industry is an
opportunity for new realism and fun in games!

Moto-X – The engine’s first application:
Moto-X, a motocross racing game, is Torus’ first application of the powerful
engine, incorporating loads of motorcycle tricks, checkpoint racing, and
free-roaming terrain. Over hills of snow, mud, dirt and rocks, the player races
against computer and human opponents (via Game Boy Advance Game Link cable) in a
variety of tournaments. With money earned from winning races and performing
tricks, the player upgrades bikes and gear to improve performance and speed.
Moto-X is a fast-paced racing challenge – without limits!
