Take Two Launches Linux Games

Take Two Interactive has announced its intention to begin supporting the Linux operating system. Though the company's first Linux product, to be released by recently acquired subsidiary Global Star, is a less than inspiring collection called 100 Greatest Linux Games Vol. 1, the company announced that it is planning several other Linux products for release in 2000. Take Two has also said that it intends to ship at least two original Linux products this year. "We are pleased to be exploring game publishing opportunities for the Linux operating system. Linux has enjoyed a remarkable penetration amongst computer users in the past eighteen months, and our Company is excited to be able to beginning supporting the massive installed base of Linux users with high-quality gaming products," said Take Two's Ryan Brandt.
