IFD’s two newest titles are aimed for 5 to 12 year olds. Originally made for the Macintosh operating system, they are now available for the first time on PC.

Based on subjects of interest to kids, dinosaurs and robots, both games are presented in 3D graphics, as well as support for red-and-blue 3-D glasses.

Nanosaur 2 starts out in 4122 AD when a Nanosaur, a dinosaur with advanced technology, is sent into the past to retrieve the unhatched eggs of ancient dinosaur species. The mission is a success, but Rebel Nanosaurs steal the eggs and take them to their bases. Now a pterodactyl Nanosaur has been sent to these bases to battle the Rebel forces and bring back the stolen eggs.

Otto Matic follows a robot that is given the job of saving Earth from the clutches of The Giant Brain from Planet X. The robot, Otto, must rescue as many humans as it can while defeating the Brain Aliens and all of their evil followers.

Nanosaur 2: Hatchling and Otto Matic are available online from IFD’s own website or at CompUSA and Gamestop stores around the nation. Nanosaur carries an MSRP of $29.99 and Otto Matic carries an MSRP of $24.99.
