Loki Takes It All
Loki Wins "Best of Show" at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo

Tustin, California  --  August 25, 2000 -- Loki Software, Inc., the 
leading publisher of best-selling games for the Linux operating system, 
accepted the coveted "Best of Show" award from IDG World Expo during the 
Show Favorites Awards ceremony at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo last 
week in San Jose, California.

Expo attendees cast their web-based ballots using kiosks on the show 
floor. They voted for "Show Favorites" in several categories, and 
selected Loki as offering the best overall for-Linux programs available.

"It is a tremendous honor to receive this recognition from the Linux 
community," said Scott Draeker, President of Loki Software. "With this 
award, Linux users have confirmed that Loki sets the standard for Linux 
games."

Loki booth visitors enjoyed testing their piloting skills with Descent 3 
for Linux on a precision three-axis motion base simulator, and playing 
other recent or soon-to-be-released titles from Loki, including Soldier 
of Fortune, SimCity 3000 Unlimited, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and 
MindRover. Paul Nolan was also on-hand to show users the unique features 
of the stunning graphics package Photogenics which will soon be published 
by Loki.
