Locus was the first game Janet Galore worked on at Zombie, as co-designer and producer. We had a very small team, and it was the first game designed from the ground up to be played with a head-mounted display such as Virtual i-O i-Glasses, CyberMaxx, or Forte VFX1. The game handled 6 degrees of freedom (yaw, pitch, and roll) so it really felt like you were inside the game. We also supported force-feedback joysticks. Ah, the good old days. The system requirements below show just how long ago that was.

This page is based on Zombie's original site.

Hear Andrei Codrescu experience the game.

	A Virtual Reality Sports Game: Experience true VR gaming with Locus. Stunning 3D graphics immerse you in a play-fast/play-hard game of elimination. Network up to nine players (three teams of three) for fast and furious game play. You should know this game was engineered for play inside of a Head Mounted Display. Play Locus and you are playing in VR.
