Tachyon: The Fringe - The LAN Tournament
The biggest, most ambitious LAN Tournament has just begun.
With the successful launch of the sci-fi space sim, Tachyon: The Fringe, NovaLogic has embarked on a huge UK National LAN Tournament where the winner will walk away with the grand prize of £10,000. It is not only the biggest cash prize given to a winner in the UK, it is also the first time that a LAN Tournament encompasses over 40 Cyber cafes across the nation.
During August and September, Gamers who are 16 and over have the opportunity to match their mercenary skills against the best in the country. All they have to do is get themselves down to their nearest participating cyber cafe [details of venues can be found on www.novalogic.co.uk]. The winners will then go through to the semi-finals held at 6 LAN Arena sites [see www.lanarena.net]. The top twelve players will then be invited down to London for the Grand final, where NovaLogic will had over the cheque for £10,000 to the ultimate winner.
Sponsors of this event include the fast growing LAN Arena, PC Gamer, Saitek and 3DFX. With the grand prize of £10,000 to the winner and some great runner up prizes from the sponsors, this competition is the first of it's kind in the UK, where all cyber cafes across the country have had the chance to get in on the action and hold a regional heat. The Tachyon: The Fringe LAN Tournament will also be the platform to launch a governing body for LAN Gaming, set up by LAN Arena it will act on behalf of gamers, LAN sites and Publishers to ensure the act of fair play and promote developing 'sport' of LAN Gaming. Playing games over a LAN network is becoming increasing popular, we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg as far as professional gaming is concerned.
Tachyon: The Fringe is not just a fantastic mutiplayer game, you can also get to grips with the absorbing single player mode (featuring the voice of Bruce Campbell from the Evil Dead films).
