INTRODUCING ALEX AND WILLIE

It gives me a great pleasure to introduce two more members of my digital gaming world. In the first picture, you can see Alex, my iMac G5 17 and 1.8 ghz work computer, located at Research Unit in Facultat de Comunicació Blanquerna, that is part of Universitat Ramon Llull. Properly speaking, Alex is not mine, that is, do not belong to me. I use it. In fact, it is only two weeks since I started to use it. But as I said in a previous post, life is very different after using Alex in comparison with Felix. Of course, as a working unit I cannot play with it as I play with Felix, but since today I had downloaded a few well-known demos, such as UT2004, Ghost Recon, Call of Duty, MOH Breakthrough and Spearhead, and America's Army Special Forces. And there is a big difference.






The second picture is from Willie, the other Mac I have at home. As you can see it is an old iMac G3 at 500 mhz. It is my son's Mac, in fact, 'cause he is always using, i.e. playing. The games most played with it are: the venerable sim Majesty, and also Age of Empires II and Stronghold. Prior to these three games, we also played kid games from Pangea's factory such as Cro-Mag Rally, Nanosaur, Bugdom, Otto Matic (see picture).



Although this Mac is old, I think he still develops a plurality of common tasks not associated with last generation of games, so it is an ideal tool for kids first contact with computers.

Nothing more right now. See you next day.
