Excellent Starcraft Screen Savers

Starcraft Screen Savers

I was browsing around and I came across a few awesome FREE Screensavers. These are in the theme of one of my favourite games, Starcraft.

Yes, I know, I know, I'm a little behind the times and there are dozens of strat games besides Starcraft but I don't care - I still LOVE STARCRAFT!

So, do you want the screensavers or not? They're from the "Mosaic," "Horde," and "Alliance" StarCraft themes.

Okay - first of all, before you go grab your cool Starcraft screensavers, don't freak out about the 'buy' button. I copied code so I could show the cool graphic for each screensaver. The link will take you to a $0.00 download, so you won't pay anything.

Second point before you go download screensavers - if you don't want that silly 'starware' toolbar attached with your download, UNCHECK the square before you download or you'll get that silly toolbar, too...unless of course, you want it, then go ahead and leave the box checked.

Here they are:







World of Warcraft - Mosaic

Evolution of Video Games on Video

Evolution of Video Games

Here's a great video clip of still shots detailing the evolution of video games systems, starting from 'Spacewar' games and systems like, Magnavox Odyssey - Coleco Telstar - Atari, Nintendo TV console, through several more Atari models to the Nintendo NES and Sega systems...

There are some great shots of the first gameboy models and top loading, side-loading, front-loading and all kinds of consoles, too.

This video is about 7 minutes long. The audio selection sounds very much like one of the old stand-up arcade game soundtracks, but I haven't tracked down information to confirm this yet. Maybe you will recognize where the audio comes from.

Yay - Paid off my Cavewoman Loan Today

Loans at Human Age:


I have officially paid off the loan I borrowed from my clan! Human Age RPG has loans available from your set clan - if you desperately need them.


I still have enough left over to buy new furnishings for my cave-dwelling. I'm still waiting for a wolf to come by so I can tame it and have a pet, but a nicer looking home will help entice a wolf...or, so they say in the forums!

ALIVE!

Human Age Survival:

I saved my Human Age character!

I was on 'day 1' of almost losing her. THe game allows you a few days to catch up and save your character from complete extinction. This means that your character can be revived and keep most stats.

After several days, however, if you completely forget to log in, the game will make your character disappear - game over for your character - extinction.

So, anyhow - my character is actually quite well off still. I had to revive her and fix a 'common cold' that she got while I was away. Her job just ended yesterday, so even though I forgot to log in for several days, the game kept my character going to work every day, so she still got paid her wages - and consequently, was able to buy some medicine right away for the cold.

Now my stats are A-OKAY! I selected a new job for my character, set her hunting grounds, made sure to get her enough water to drink and buy some extra water (the community well has gone dry, so characters cannot drink from there - they have to buy water from the storage area) - made sure my character ate enough to gain some weight (she ate a sabre toothed tiger heh), and she should be good to go until TOMORROW when I log in again.

First Hunt With No Unpleasant Incidents

Hunting at Human Age RPG Game Online

Wow, I just completed the FIRST hunt ever where I did NOT get hurt or have to turn back home to mend!

I even forgot to check my Human Age character in her prehistoric world - while I was off at classes this week.

Amazing!

Plus, I was 'Marsh Hunting' where the prey isn't so big, but I nabbed a Laughing Parasaurus along the way - which doesn't happen often for me. This creature actually has some (laughing because I already ate it and because of it's name - in fact, because of this whole statment I'm making LOL) nutritional value!

And I only have 1 more moon to remain a 'water carrier' labourer, so I can switch jobs tomorrow! I think I can start my 'fire quest' tomorrow, too. Woo hoo!
:)

Change Hunting Grounds On Tuesdays

Special Tuesday at Human Age Online RPG Game:

At Human Age, you can change Hunting Grounds without penalty...

BUT ONLY ON TUESDAYS!

I just went into my account to check on my PreHistoric woman 'teeray' (go figure)

Teeray's luck wasn't so good on the Marsh Hunting grounds, so I moved Teeray.

Now she's hunting in the Forest, where the animals are bigger and more dangerous.

I made sure Teeray had a decent store of 'currency' first, because usually Teeray comes home from Forest Hunting with some injuries. If that happens again, Teeray will be able to get some medicine, bandages and 'cures' from the store once she's out of the Forest.

Usually Teeray gets a bigger 'catch/loot' from Forest Hunting, so I hope that will be the case tonight.

Hunting is considered a 'nocturnal' activity and characters should have a 'day job' in order to gain currency and advance in the game.

Teeray will be a 'water carrier' for 12 more moons - but this brings pay PLUS Teeray gets to stock up on her own personal water levels as a bonus.

With the "Wood Gatherer" job, players earn pay PLUS a bonus of adding to their personal wood stock, as well.

The 'Stone Chooser' job requires that you purchase a hammer, so you can't do this job if you don't have enough 'currency' to get the hammer. It pays the most of all the jobs, but it is the longest 'job contract,' (30 moons) and the hardest labour.

I will decide, within the next 12 moons, whether Teeray will take the Wood Gatherer or the Stone Chooser job. I think Wood Gatherer will be good because I think I can keep Teeray's health stats, currency level, morale, strength, and everything else up enough to start a "Quest" as a 'Fire Starter' the next time I am working as a Wood Gatherer!

Anyhow - Teeray has to go off to the Market in the Human Age world now. She needs to check on prices - to see what her Hunting Catch will bring in once she's trapped some creatures in the Forest tonight!

Teeray is 48 moons old now, and going strong!

An Important Message For Human Age Members

Human Age Members



When I logged in to play over at the Human Age website, I saw this important message for members:


IMPORTANT: Starting next week, we will be checking ALL accounts for computer, network or IP sharing! So if you haven't notified us yet, send that message NOW! Please include all account names, thanks!

Human Age doesn't allow multiple accounts. In fact, you'll be banned if you try to create multiple accounts. The site does, however, allow family members (or room-mates, I suppose) to each have an account through the same computer IP. There are specific qualifications for making sure that each person has their own GAME ID, even if they have to use the same computer. This is a bit complicated, and gamers who are already doing this will probably already know how all of this works.

I just thought I would post the admin message - in case someone has forgotten to log in for a few days.

So - CHECK IT OUT - If you haven't been to Human Age in a while - go check your account! If you're one of the users sharing a computer with another Human Age player, make sure you get things straightened out.

Okay - that's all - I gotta run - I logged in to the game already and I KNOW I'm in big trouble with my game because I FORGOT TO LOG IN for 2 days. My character is in BIG TROUBLE and I have to go save her before she dies!

Oh - by the way - I see from my members area that the Human Age world is still very cold, down to -11 degrees in some locations - so here's a double reminder to LOG IN to your area and CHECK ON YOUR Character. Put some wood on your fires so your game character doesn't freeze to death!

*whew* Luckily, I'm a wood carrier for another several moons, so I already know that I have a LOT of wood stored up for this cold season!

Gotta run!

NES Game Systems - Back To Old Games

NES Game Systems: A Great Way to Relive Old Games

With the variety of various and different gaming consoles appearing in the market today, integrated with the very latest graphics and audio technology, you will might be hard pressed to imagine that gaming consoles originated from simple, humble beginnings.

If you are familiar with the Nintendo GameCube, you have to know that it all originated in a gaming console called Nintendo Entertainment System or NES.

Mention 'Nintendo,' and usually, the first thing that comes to mind is "video games." Nintendo has been producing and manufacturing different kinds of gaming consoles since the video game market was still in its very infancy.

Unlike the gaming consoles of today that you'll commonly see, perhaps, ones developed by Sony and Microsoft, by contrast, Nintendo is purely involved in the gaming industry. Nintendo concentrates almost solely on gaming.

Sony is known for hardware and many other gadgets (tape recorders, radios, televisions, VCRs, etc). Microsoft, of course, is known for developing software and computers.

Nintendo has been in the business of video games for a very long time and still remains as one of the best manufacturers of gaming consoles today.

With Nintendo's Game Cube, you would almost never expect that Nintendo also developed a primitive gaming console that was one of the most popular in the world. Nintendo started out with NES or the Nintendo Entertainment System.

NES is has been one of the most popular, well established, widely distributed video gaming consoles in its time and is also a "best selling" video gaming console. Games for the NES system were simple but highly entertaining, and kept users engaged for hours. Two of the most successfully distributed and favorite games from NES are "Mario Bros." and "Tetris."

In fact, NES games are so entertaining that many people today who owned NES gaming console from years back are still hooking up their old NES gaming console to their TV and play their old NES games today. It is also a fact that NES games still attract people who will buy a console online or who will download specific NES games that they can play on their own computer.

NES gaming consoles were in fact the best selling consoles within the Nintendo company. Even their latest gaming console called the GameCube can’t compete in terms of sales against the NES. Nintendo had an estimated 61.9 million dollars in sales for NES worldwide while that particular console was in its prime. GameCube only sold units to the tune of 20.9 million dollars. This may be because other competition in the gaming console industry has interfered with GameCube sales, while NES systems dominated the market and had less competition years ago, however, this still only shows NES to be one of the best gaming consoles ever developed in the world. In NES's prime, certain other gaming and console companies would have been crazy to try to compete.

NES also has a wide variety of games. Because there are so many games available, this gives gamers a very wide range of choices about how to spend their time gaming. Prior to the NES system, there were a few other relatively nice consoles, but these only had very few game choices to accompany the console. NES dominated the gaming markets for a long time before some more advanced gaming systems arrived on the scene from Sony and Microsoft.

Although it is true that certain companies finally came out with more advanced systems, NES didn't completely die away. Nor should one consider NES 'GONE' to this very day, because there are still TONS of people who enjoy NES games on NES consoles. To boot, NES games are also very readily available online. You can download NES on the internet for extremely reasonable prices!

NES has some rather primitive games, however, the company develops engaging, entertaining games as well. If you have played with a NES before, you know how fun and attention-getting their games can be. With a lot of popular game titles, you will surely never run out of games to play with the NES.

So, if you feel like playing NES games again, all you have to do is hook your NES gaming console to your TV, choose the game you want to play and relive the time when you where still young and loved to play different NES games.

With NES, even your kids will enjoy playing with the old games. Even if you have the latest gaming console with different game titles, you will surely want to play with the NES over and over again.

However, if you don’t have a NES gaming console, you can still buy it through the internet. The main NES consoles were built with surprising sturdiness and decade-old systems are often playable today in 'good as new' shape, offering the same performance as they put out well over a decade ago.

Or, you can download NES games and play then on your home PC. Different emulators are available today - all over the place - which will enable you to play NES games to your heart's content.

:)

So - don't worry about getting tired of the same old games you're using with your current gaming system. You still have a lot of choices. NES is still readily available all over the place.

Dig your old NES back out of the closet, hook it up to the TV and start playing. Or - acquire an old console or an NES downloadable game online for your PC and start playing with the most popular gaming console ever sold in the market.

Hand Held Video Games

Handheld Video Game Systems: Take Entertainment Wherever You Go!


Everywhere people go, they always tend to look for quality entertainment to keep them from getting bored. Some people like to watch movies, others like to watch sports, and, of course, some like to play video games.

Since the evolution of video games, people love to acquire entertainment - to 'own it.' So, when video games were first introduced, store shelves were constantly running out of systems because of the popularity of video games. Besides, who wouldn’t want to have quality entertainment right at the comforts of their own home?

Video games have come a long way since its invention. First versions of video games have simple pixilated graphics and simple sounds that really entertained people from that era. Families enjoyed playing these video games as a form of entertainment. Children and adults alike played for hours just to finish a certain video game title.

After finishing that, people still seem that they can’t get enough of video games and they simply purchased another gaming cartridge with a new game title and played with it for another hour or two.

People even loves going to the mall just to play in the arcade. Arcade games are fun and people really pay lots of money to play in the arcade.

However, you want something that you can play with in your own home. You want something that you can have access to anytime you want. And, you want a video game system that you can take with you wherever you go to keep on entertaining yourself and keep away from getting bored.

Whether you want to let time pass, or you are craving for a little entertainment, one of the best ways to do this is by purchasing handheld video gaming systems.

First you need a TV; and second you need an electrical outlet (which may be different in another country). Carrying around your gaming console can also be very inconvenient whenever you travel. And, it can even get more frustrating if the countries you will be going to have voltages in their power outlet different from the voltage requirement of your gaming console. You should also consider that the plugs from different countries are different and you will need a plug adaptor for you to be able to plug in and make your gaming console work.

However, there are video gaming systems available today that are very convenient. These are called the handheld gaming systems. These devices can let you play games wherever you are. You can play games while you are riding the bus, or the car. These things are battery operated and some can even fit in your pocket.

During the early years of handheld video game systems, it originally had crude graphics with an LED screed to display the game. However, recent technologies have made it possible to get the games in color and have more stunning 3D graphics.

People from all over the world consider handheld video games as one of the best ways to pass the time or to entertain themselves while traveling. However, with all of the available handheld video game systems in the market, you could get confused on which to buy.

Choosing a handheld video game system shouldn’t be too hard if you know what to look for. Aside from the great graphics technology that people try to find in video games, you should also look for a handheld video game system that has a wide variety of games available.

With this feature, you will surely enjoy hours and hours of gaming entertainment wherever you are. Of course, you may need to purchase an extra battery pack to avoid getting your game interrupted when it goes on low power.

So, if you plan on traveling and in need of entertainment, you should consider purchasing a handheld video game system to keep you entertained. You can also share this with your friends who are traveling with you. With these, you can enjoy countless of hours of enjoyment and entertainment. Never get bored again while traveling with a handheld video game system. Just make sure to charge it.

First Game Systems

From First to the Latest Video Game Systems: A Rundown Of The Evolution of Video Game Consoles

Playing with video game systems is one of the most popular forms of entertainment around today, and this has been the case ever since game consoles were first developed. With the advancement in graphics and sound technology, you will see that video games today can really take you inside the game itself and makes you feel as if you were actually the character you are playing.

Before all the state-of-the-art, realistic, 'real-time' graphics and sound effects that you see in today’s latest video game systems, games had much more basic, simple graphics. In its time, however, a game with sound and simple graphics was considered totally state-of-the-art! This basic stuff was too good to be true in its day, and was very exciting!

You should realize that the evolution of video game systems is actually quite amazing in that the differences and astounding improvements have taken place in a mere 30 years or so, from beginnings to where we are now. Thanks to the advancement in communications, graphics, and also sound technology, many video games today offer first class entertainment (not to mention education and other benefits).

The very first video games system that appeared on the market was a coin operated arcade video game created by Nutting Associates. This game was called Computer Space. It was invented in 1970 and is considered to be the very beginning of the evolution of video games.

The next company to release a video game system was Magnavox in 1972. Magnavox named their system, The Odyssey 100 Video Game System. Unlike the Computer Space arcade video game, the Odyssey 100 was playable from home! The system apparatus could be attached to a standard television, bringing gaming conveniently right into our living rooms. This feature allowed everyone to play video games right at home, amid the comforts of home and with various family members. Video games were suddently available as a family activity once The Odyssey 100 Video Game System became available. Consequently, almost 100,000 units of the system were sold for 100 dollars each.

During the same year that Magnavox released Odyssey 100 video game systems, Atari also released Pong coin-operated arcade video game system.

In 1976 Atari released the Breakout arcade video game. During its lifetime, 15,000 units of this arcade video game were sold. In this same year, Fairchild Camera and Instruments of California introduced Channel F home video game system. This was the very first system that used plug-in cartridges for games. Another feature of this game was that it utilized color and sound through a TV connection.

In 1977, Atari released the Atari Video Computer System (VCS). Later, this unit was named the Atari 2600. This video game system developed by Atari also used plug-in cartridges, had color graphics and sound through a TV connection.

In 1978, Taito introduced the Space Invaders arcade video game in Japan. This arcade video game sold over 350,000 units world-wide throughout its lifetime.

In 1981 Nintendo released the Donkey Kong arcade video game in the US. And, in 1985 Nintendo released their version of home video game console called the Nintendo Entertainment System. This video game console is still considered to be the best selling video game console of all time.

During this time, Nintendo slowly resurrected the video game industry and, very plainly, initiated a huge video game craze.

Between 1985 and 1995, a lot of video game systems were released. Between these years, Nintendo Game Boy video game systems, Sega Genesis, NEC Home Entertainment TurboGrafx, Lynx, Super Family Computer, Panasonic REAL 3DO, Sega Saturn, Super Nintendo, and Sony PlayStation were all released.

As you can see, the video game industry has evolved very fast. Graphics technology were becoming more and more real that violence, even during the late 80's. Blood and gore have been integrated into many games and this isn't always an attractive thing for many gamers, but luckily, the presence of unwanted gore also initiated a need for a censorship and ratings board. Because of blood and gore integrated with some of the games, the ESRB was created to rate the games that are being released.

Because of the competition in production and distribution of gamings systems, really, only 3 major video game companies have survived in the video game industry today. These 3 major players are Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. These 3 companies are still developing the latest video game systems.

Starting out with crude and simple graphics and sounds, people have developed amazing video games in just a short period of time. If you try and imagine the future, you will see that the video game systems that you play with today will just even get better and better.

Video games today are even equipped with modems to let them connect to the internet and play with other people from all over the world. So, the next time you buy another latest video game system, try to imagine what it was like during the first release of the video game systems.

Above all else - just KEEP PLAYING!! Inevitably, more games are on the way, more consoles, systems, etc. The next games will be more real, harder, require more skill, gameplay will be faster, and boy, if you don't keep playing, you'll be left in the dust.

Evolution is still in progress!



The Evolution of Video Game Consoles

Famous Games Systems

An Introductory to the Famous Game Systems in the US and Around the World

This is obviously just an 'intro' to gaming systems, as there are literally too many to list in a short space, but here is an attempt to chat about some of the more important, notable, and current ones.

According to one survey of a major console manufacturer, 1 of every 4 household owns a product made by the former (Xbox). That number does not include the households that own other makes of video gaming systems (Play Station, Nintendo, etc).

Video game systems are also called consoles. These gadgets are hardware where the video games are read and actually played. Consoles can be best described as the terminal where video games are converted into software and are actually transmitted to a monitor. Consoles are extraordinary boxes powered by alternating or direct current. These consoles come out in different sizes, forms and color depending on the manufacturer. There are consoles that are exclusively made for a certain game or game make. The controls, maybe a joystick or a gun, of a console is different from the other. This is why not all games can be played in a certain console.

Every console make and manufacturer can easily become famous especially if the said console make can read many games. Gamers would actually look for the gadget that can cater not just to one or three games but as many as possible. For a manufacturer, to be famous means to be innovative. People would normally grab things which are new to them. So to make the product sell, makers must put new features and other innovations in the product.

There are so many consoles available nowadays. And its manufacturers keep on developing new consoles every now and then to stay ahead in the market. The US is one of the world’s largest video game enthusiast countries and they are the fastest innovators. Here are three most famous video game systems in the US:

• MICROSOFT XBOX – this console is made by Microsoft Company. The first console Microsoft released is the Xbox. The Xbox is a desktop style console that has lower memory and specs as compared to its successor. Four years after, Microsoft then introduced Xbox 360 in the market. This is a tower console that can read even PC games. This contains a 3.2 GHz processor with a memory of 512MB. It has the highest hard drive memory for a video game console which is 20 GB. XBOX 360 can be used for online gaming. With the high technology and specifications Microsoft infused with their console, better graphics can be used by game developers to make the game more realistic.

• SONY PLAYSTATION – this console or videogame system was made by Sony Company. There are already many versions of consoles that Sony has made. It all Started with the PS 1. Originally, PS 1 is a console that reads computer games stored in a disc. PS also uses a memory card which stores level, scores etc. The most anticipated version of Play Station is the PS 2 in 2001. It is basically a remake of the PS 1 but with several improvements. The latest released console by Sony is the PSP, or the Play Station Portable. It is a hand held DC powered console. Sony has this new console ready to be released this year. This console is considered to be the seventh generation video game system that Sony has made. This will be released on November 11 in Japan and on 17 in North America. Basically, PS3 is the successor of PS2 that was hugely successful.

• NINTENDO GAMECUBE and WII– this is the latest release of Nintendo. Like its first video game systems, GameCube also uses its original game pad. After Family Computer, Nintendo never stopped improving their home consoles even when they arrived at an amazing console tagged as GameCube. Nintendo, like any other console maker, never stops discovering new things and making new consoles. This November, Nintendo is going to release their newest console; Nintendo Wii. It can comparably be leveled to Microsoft’s Xbox360 and Sony’s PS3. Nintendo Wii is only 8.5 inches long and 6 inches wide and the thickness of this console is only about 2 inches. One of its newedt innovations is a nunchuk looking wireless game pads.

There are still so many video game systems that are sprouting out and making their own name in the industry. As the demands of the gamers keep on leveling up, makers also strive hard to produce video game systems that does not just sell well but become famous with most gamers.

A Favorite Game - Starcraft

Starcraft is one of my favorite games.

Now, I have to be honest on this blog and say that I actually SUCK at most games.

This doesn't prevent me from playing games. I play mostly on my PC and keep to myself, avoiding the online interactions because I GET KILLED FAST online when I interact with online players.

Likely, I don't play games ENOUGH - but then, I am working on a degree at University, so my gameplay time is limited.

I like to play Starcraft on my PC once in a while, however, to ease some stress during studies. There's nothing better than taking out a little aggression out on a bunch of Zergs when my studies have turned my brain into cerebral mass confusion.

Studies have been proving that gaming is actually not the evil that 'our parents' have said it is for years and years and years. Of course, attention is needed so that one doesn't spend TOO MUCH TIME playing computer games, but when reasonable time is allotted for 'games,' this is good for eye-hand coordination, learning problem solving skills, and gaining better connections between left and right brain activity.

So - though I suck at Starcraft and avoid online competition with others, when I play the PC game on my home computer, I have fun and actually enhance some real-time, real-world skills at the same time - without even noticing the latter part.

Game ON!

Da Vinci Code Game

System Specifications needed for the Da Vinci Code Computer Game

System requirements are not just applicable to some games; these are part of every game. There is no game that exists today that does not have any system requirement for the computer to properly run the game. Aside from that, almost all game requirements are considerably on the part of the hardware device that a gamer must posses.

Video games have lesser system requirements or hardware device requirements because these games are preset to a certain device that is constantly made. Or it can be better said that game programmers adopts with the present hardware device or known as console that their game can play with.

Other video game makers make their own video game consoles which lessens the requirements of the system that is to needed to play the game. However, games cannot be regulated in the sense that only those game console makers are allowed to make game programs. There is no law that rules over the regulation of game production in that matter. There are plenty of independent game makers that are not connected, whether in part or in whole, with big game console producers. These game makers just depend on the mainstream hardware device that can be use for their game.

The most common hardware that is being used to play with certain games is the personal computer. However, there are plenty of versions and specifications that is present nowadays that a personal computer may have. You may find different makes and capacity of processors, video cards, sound cards, RAM, etc. in the market. These specifications are very helpful in thinking what your computer may do for you.

All games have their own system requirements. These specifications are required to attain a good sound, good video output and good playing output for the player. When one or several requirements are not met, chances are that the player will never enjoy the game to its fullest capacity. Just imagine playing a game with a choppy computer, or with a very poor sound, or even unrealistic display, surely one will never be happy with the game.

One of the games that may require special specification to the user is the Da Vinci Code. This game was inspired by the book and the movie that was shown early this year. This game is about Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu’s quest for answers on the secrets of the Priory of Sion and other sects. Their quest was later situated in the game of death when they discover a very critical secret which can possibly ruin the Catholic faith.

The system requirement of the Da Vinci Code game is primarily applicable to personal computers. The basic system requirements are the ones being given ceiling.

Here are the system requirements for the game Da Vinci Code:

• Processor – the speed of the processor that is required to play this game is 1.8 GHz. The make is no longer important but the one made by Pentium is more advisable. The speed of the processor is the one that will determine how fast your computer will be able to execute any command from the game. This will be responsible in sending and accepting data coming from the user. The Da Vinci Code game requires speeds like this because visual display and other feature of this game are really high.

• Environment – this game can run in Windows 2000, Windows Xp or any higher environment available.

• RAM – the requirement of this game for RAM is as high as 512MB. This memory is used to temporarily store data that will be sent for the processor. The faster the RAM the faster the processor will execute.

• Disc Space – for a better gaming experience, the Da Vinci Cod Game requires 3GB hard disc space. Too large for a normal computer disc space but just perfect to play Da Vinci Code game.

• Video Card – for a good resolution of graphics, the game needs a 64MB DirectX 9c compatible graphic card.

• CD-ROM – the game require the average speed of the CD-ROM that equals to 6X. However, the game prefers the user to use a DVD-ROM instead.

In the game, there are places included that are not stated in the book nor in the movie. The player is going to solve meta puzzles and decipher codes from a cryptex. There are 90 levels that a player must finish. If your computer meets or exceeds the requirements, then you will have a better operation of the game allowing you to fully enjoy every aspect of it.

Points On Computer Game System Requirements

What does a Computer Game System Require?

Every system that exists on this planet needs a requirement. No matter how many or how big the requirement is, it is essential to comply with the requirements to full realize its potential or to just simply make it work. In science, a system may require any factor affecting it. For example, for a plant to complete its photosynthesis, it must collect carbon dioxide from its surrounding.

This idea is also true in computer gaming. In video games, the peripherals or the devices that you are going to use must meet the requirements set by the game. These requirements are primarily on the capacity of your device; say a console, to perform tasks and to read the game set for by the programmer.

Compatibility also has something to do with computer requirements. The idea behind this is the simple fact that a game can be played with compatible device which can play perfectly the said software. For instance, the video resolution of a program may differ according to the monitor that a gamer may use. With requirements, the user may know which monitor can possibly display good video.

Why set a minimum requirement for a certain console in line with the game? All game programs are innovated in the highest technology environments. When they are incompatible with the hardware devices, chances are that the operation of such game may be greatly affected. These minimum requirements are neither for the game producer nor for the console maker. These are actually for the consumer, in the case of computer video game, for the gamer to have the best possible output from a combination of right game the right system requirement.

Requirements are actually computer specifications that each device must possess. Basically, each game may require certain specifications to the device they must be played with. The game may require the following from the computer:

• Processor’s Speed – the speed for the processor is one of the crucial system requirements a certain game may ask your computer to possess. This said speed will determine how fast your computer will act or execute a decision. Since, games are all executable programs, speed of the processor is very important. Processor speed has a unit of megahertz (MHz) and gigahertz (GHz). The unit megahertz are smaller unit than gigahertz. More precisely, a gigahertz is equal to a thousand megahertz. High-speed processors can run any game equal to its speed and lower but slower processors may not run games with higher speed requirements.

• Random Access Memory – this is commonly known as the internal memory or plainly memory of the computer. This memory helps store some data immediately needed by the processor. Most of the computer machines available in the market has preset RAM equivalent to 64MB. Most games may require RAM equal to this. However, there are game programs that require higher RAM like 126MB. This is not something to worry about because RAM can be upgraded with higher memory capacity.

• VRAM – this stands for Video Read Access Memory. The ability of your computer to display good resolution games depends on the VRAM. This memory works with the video card. Video cards are like processors however it is only focused on feeding the monitor with visual commands. The VRAM is a temporary memory that saves all graphical information that will be later on fed to the video card and the processor.

• Disc Capacity – refers to the capacity of the hard drive to store files and information. Disc space is also measured and uses the unit megabytes (MB) just like the VRAM and the RAM. The higher the disc space, the more games that you can store and play in your computer. Like the RAM, disc memory capacity may also be upgraded. One can even have higher memory that can be measured in gigabyte (GB).

• CD-ROM drive speed – not all the games that are installed in your pc may no longer require a disc. Most game companies upgrade computer game programs using discs. This are later added in the game specs by means of reinstalling it in the computer. The faster the CD-ROM is the faster the installation will be. Every now and then, you will use the CD-ROM not just in playing games but also in ensuring copyright protection and the like. Just like other requirements, the CD-ROM speed can perform its duty well to game programs that has equal speed requirement or slower.

How To Compare Systems

How to Compare Video Game Systems

Video Games are vastly disseminated all over the world. Questions can never be asked regarding their capacity to entertain and the ability to fully satisfy a gamer. In the past researches, it was found out that roughly millions of people in the United States have access to video and pc games. This just means that a majority of the population is looking around and trying to discover what's available for them.

People or enthusiasts can be leveled into three; 1) beginners 2) frequent gamers 3) experts. These three are bound to one arena where they will meet: the gaming world.

These people have their own questions in mind and are trying to personally find out the answers to their questions.

For a beginner, the question may be something like; what will I do with this game?

This question may seem very simple but needs patience to answer. Such question would change and would elevate as time goes by and as the ability of the player improves. From this stage, their focus is neither to look for games nor to discover new game systems or consoles. Their mission is to learn and master the game no matter what game it is regardless of the console they use.

The second level of gamer is something caught between seeking and constantly going with the flow. These types of gamers now actually find some time to discover new things and ask question like, what other games are there for me. This question is embodied with the desire to satisfy the game and not just to play with it.

The third must not be misinterpreted with an addicted player or any other worse negative term for it. These people are actually the ones not just looking for games but also make ways so other gamers may understand them and develop the game further. They do not just play games, they even interpret it. They are expert enough that they would try as many games as they could and try to master it then make some articles or reviews about what they found out with the game. They are actually doing comparisons.

Comparing a video game system is very important for these three levels of enthusiasts. This will help them master whatever they are currently into. In addition, reviews and comparisons aid other gamers in finding out which games are worth looking into and which game consoles to buy.
But how do these people come up with a review and what are the things that they do in order to write one? There are also techniques and procedures that one must follow in order to arrive at a very good comparison of video game systems. Here are some that you may first include in your list of techniques to compare a video game system.

• The very first thing that one must do is to play the video game itself. Play it until you finish the video game. If it is a leveled game then play it until the last level.
• Take note of the effects, the color and the other features of the game that you may share with the readers. All physical observation must be related to readers for their information.
• Relate to the readers the basic information that they need to know about the certain game. They will probably need to know about the console compatibility, the release date of the game, the name, the publisher, the platform, etc. For pc games, it is very important to first relate to the reader the system specification requirement of the game. Try to inflict your own observation on it.
• Give the readers a gist of what the game is. If it is a race, then tell them specifically that it is a race and what kind of race the game is. There are so many types of video or computer games that are now available in the market, all with different ways to play and with variable number of players that can play. These facts must also be included in the review or comparison.
• Give your opinion in the sense that they will agree with you when they will try the game you are comparing. There are so many things that you may want to point out in the game. The scoring system, the level of difficulty, the length of the game and so on, these are just examples of things that you may critic.
• Compare the game with another game with the same playing method. The game that you will compare it with must a game that you have already played with. Give the strengths and the weaknesses of each game according to your observation.
• Lastly, conclude in a manner that you balance things. You may also cling to the other game that is really good for you but do not ever forget the good side of the other game. Compare video game systems in an unbiased way.

However, because of the heavy demand of consumers in the market, console makers and software or game programmers tie up to come up with a perfect combination for their products to sell. There are consoles though that is universal in the sense that it can play at least all programmed games available in the market.

To help you in choosing the best video game, here are some things to do in finding and choosing the best video game system:

• Know what you want first. As stated above, what satisfies you is something that only you can answer.

Atari - One Of The Best Games of the 80s

Atari Video Game Systems: Reliving the Best Games of the 80s

Atari developed one of the most popular and the most best selling gaming systems in the world. In 1977 Atari successfully launched a gaming system that almost everyone in the world wanted. The Atari Video Computer System or VCS created a new way to entertain the young and old alike in the late 70s to the early 90s.

If you played Atari before, you know how crude and simple the graphics were in this gaming system compared to the 3D state-of-the-art graphics with the latest technology in gaming consoles introduced today.

The popularity of Atari lasted for many years. However, with the introduction of a more realistic gaming system today, Atari became a relic. In the 80s, Atari game systems and its game cartridges flew off the shelves of stores worldwide. You can even compare Atari’s popularity with the Christmas season craze that you may experience with other popular gaming consoles available in the market today.

However, because of overproduction of gaming cartridges, the market for video games crashed. Even with Atari’s success, it was affected by the declining demand in the video game market. By the fall of 1986, Atari gaming systems wasn’t available in most retail stores in the US.
However, even after all these years, Atari games are still fun to play. Even old games like Pac-man, Asteroids, Missile Command, and other popular titles Atari produced were still widely available in the video game market. Although it wasn’t really available in cartridges like before, it is, however, still being played in the internet.

Today, Atari is now a game developer for PC games and other popular gaming consoles out in the market. They now develop games that can compete with the standards that people are searching for in a game. Popular Atari game titles, such as Neverwinter Nights, Test Drive Unlimited, Age of Pirates and others are now available for PC, Xbox, PlayStation 2 and others.
These games also have the stunning advanced 3D graphics that most people look for in a game today. With great sound effects and realistic graphic quality, Atari games can really make you want to play their games over and over again.

Atari games are also available in different genres. They have Role Playing Games or RPG, strategy games, action games, first person shooter games, driving games, simulation games, online games, fighting games and they also develop games for kids.

With the different kinds of games available that Atari produces, you can be sure that you will never run out of great game titles from Atari. If you get tired of an Atari game, you simply have to go out and buy another popular title developed by Atari.

However, fun as all the new games Atari is developing now, the old games, such as Missile Command, Pac-Man, Asteroids, Tempers, Battlefield and other popular game titles back in the 70s and 80s are still fun to play with. People who grew up in the Atari era have searched for the old gaming titles in the internet and play it online.

These games can still be played in your PC by just having an active internet connection and logging on to http://www.atari.com/. Or, you can purchase the old Atari Video Computer System or VCS in the internet. Today, the game system still exists and people still buys them. Even the cartridges are for sale.

If you want to play old video games the old school way, then purchasing an Atari Video Computer System is the best way to do it. Relive the 80s and play hundreds of different games developed by Atari.

All you need to do is plug the Atari VCS to your TV, plug in your favorite Atari game cartridge and play like you did when you were a child. If you have children, try to let them join the fun by letting them play too.

Atari games are widely available for download in the internet. Old games can be downloaded and played in your computer. But, if you want to play with these old and simple games like in the 70s and 80s, purchase an Atari VCS gaming console in the internet.

Atari Teenage Riot 1992-2000 CD If youre one of the many who cant tell one Atari Teenage Riot album from the other but still crave their fierce, digital hardcore radicalism, this ones for you. Atari Teenage Riot 1992-2000 takes the bands discography and pares it down to the necessary tracks, making this their ultimate weapon. Punk rock and power electronics blend and juiced-up drum machines pound as Alec Empire and crew shout and rally for Revolution Action. If you arent familiar with ATR, their targets and politics arent fleshed out (nazis and fascists must die and all that) and their music makes Sigue Sigue Sputnik sound versatile. Still you cant beat them for extreme, primal protest chants, and their uncompromising stance is something unmatched to this day. Heck, a major label released some of this extreme oise terror and youve got to respect the subversiveness of that. Other than Empires liner notes and the portability of the set, there isnt a good reason to recommend this rarity-free comp to longtime fans.
