Well I don’t know much about trees, or poems about them. But there is a game written about a kind of tree called a Dyson tree. Just what is a Dyson tree you ask? Let’s call on our friend Wikipedia for an answer, shall we? According to Wikipedia, “A Dyson tree is a hypothetical genetically-engineered plant, (perhaps resembling a tree) capable of growing in a comet, suggested by the physicist Freeman Dyson.” Okay what does this have to do with games? Well our next game is called, you guessed it, Dyson!

Friday, March 6th, 2009Galcon – Masters of the Universe, but definately not He-Man

I fired this baby up for the first time and went to options. I attempted to change the resolution, but if you go higher than 640×480 it gets a little choppy at times, so I decided to leave it at 640×480. I then went to the tutorial mode. There are 5 levels that tell you how to play. Although on the whole I think you could just start up a real game and not ever look at the tutorial.
