announced that Nightcaster II: Equinox, the 3D action spell-shooter, and
Pulse Racer,
the futuristic combat racer with INFINITRAX, both ship today (Tuesday) for the

combat as a mage and warrior –Arran and Madelyn – use tactical skills and
practical magic to battle goblins, trolls, dragons and other demons in a lush
fantasy world. The original Nightcaster, published by Microsoft for Xbox,
debuted last year.
Nightcaster II: Equinox features
dynamic graphics, dual analog control system, two-player mode and expanded melee

interactive music score changes the tempo of the game.

Equinox was developed and published by Jaleco Entertainment. It is rated T.
Pulse Racer
is set in an imaginary city where racers careen through futuristic tracks, using
their heart rate, the weight of their own bodies, and high-tech tools like
plasma beams to beat the competition. Pulse Racer offers INFINITRAX, a
unique, limitless track generating system that allows players to create any
number of custom-tailored tracks to be stored, altered and shared on the Xbox
hard-drive. The INIFINITRAX track editor is one of several hidden game features
unlocked by earning racing points. Up to four players can race at once on the
