Alternative Games
Alternative Games (formerly IGIOS) is a Finnish video game company specializing in porting games primarily to the Linux platform as well as to Mac OS X . Their first products were the Linux ports of Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor, with both games originally being developed by Frozenbyte and being released by Linux Game Publishing in September 2009. It was also working on bringing Iron Sky: Operation Highjump to Linux.
In November 2010 it was announced that Trine and Trine 2, games also by Frozenbyte, were coming to Linux by a new developer called Alternative Games. It was later confirmed that the company was founded by the IGIOS Linux team. The finished Linux port of Trine was released as part of the third Humble Indie Bundle, alongside the Shadowgrounds games for Linux and Mac OS X and a pre-order for Splot, which is also coming to Linux.
