I had the box set, it was the first Linux game I bought. The flurry was Loki Games, a porting house. They let me help as a beta tester! I got to test Descent III and Mindrover. Next would have been Deus Ex, but they flamed out. One of them, Sam Latinga, built SDL and I believe is still active.

I still have my boxed copy (along with everything Loki produced) in a big box in the garage.

I think Loki also originated OpenAL, which is still around as well.
