PTERODON Projects

The PTERODON team has developed the following projects:

Hesperian Wars

A real-time strategy game that takes place in a fantasy world named Hesperia. The game was finished in 1998 and was only published in Germany by the Modern Games Company. This game was created by Michal Janacek and Jarek Kolar with external help from Filip Oscadal and Petr Klvac. Owing to low budget and short development time (8 months) the final game did not achieve great success or the players' popularity.
Flying Heroes

Action FPS game where the player sits on the back of giant birds, dragons and magic machines flying in a fantasy arena, trying to achieve victory. The game was finished in 2000 and published worldwide by the Take-Two Interactive Company. 14 members of the PTERODON team were working on this game for nearly two years. Flying Heroes was a meticulously designed game and received rankings of 70-80% in game magazine reviews. However, because of an unattractive topic and insufficient multiplayer online support, it was not very successful among the players.
Vietcong

War FPS game where the player is in the position of an U.S. Army Special Forces sergeant stationed on the Nui Pek base in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. During his six months stay, he takes part in more than 20 missions in the vicinity of the base. The game was finished in 2003 and published worldwide by the Gathering Company (a division of Take-Two Interactive). The team spent 3 years of work on this project, and the number of developers reached up to 25 people in the final phase.
Vietcong Fist Alpha

The official add-on for Vietcong which takes you to the hill of Nui Pek and to the dangerous jungle of the Central Highlands. The action precedes the original game and tells the story of the Special Forces base establishment. The player in the role of Sgt. Douglas leads the A-216 team consisting of the familiar characters Hornster, Defort, Crocker and Bronson. The add-on offers a single player campaign, new maps and new multiplayer game types. As far as the new weapons are concerned, we can mention the M-14 gun, Claymore mines or the Russian machine gun named Degtarev DPL-2.
Vietcong Purple Haze

Experience the fear and danger of lethal warfare, commanding a group of U.S. Special Forces during the Vietnam War. Combining two single player campaigns, the player takes the role of sergeants first class Steve R. Hawkins and Warren Douglas, fighting in over 28 missions of intense jungle warfare. Vietcong Purple Haze contains both the original Vietcong and the official add-on, Vietcong Fist Alpha.
Vietcong Red Dawn

The second official add-on for Vietcong, which was released on the Internet for free and on several gaming magazines throughout Europe. Containing one new single player mission, Vietcong Red Dawn features an all-new "cooperative (COOP)" experience in the multiplayer mode of the game, in which the player takes the role of a Vietcong unit, fighting through completely new multiplayer maps. This add-on was developed in the spare time of our employees, and was published in March 2005.
