The tales of oscar wilde7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The truth is that for me is one of the lessons that I’ll keep in mind form now on.Įste cuento trata de el cumpleaños de la infanta de España, una princesita mal criada y joven la cual no cuenta con una madre. However, the end was what rescued this story definitively, is one of the best finals, its’ really quite good. ![]() There were characters and flat plots that should not have developed, it is also full of stereotypes about the country where the story originates, which really bothered me when reading it, and the description of a 14-year-old boy slaughtering a bull did not fascinated me. In this story, it is possible to see that this was one of the author's first writings because he plated many ideas that ultimately end to not be concreted. For this reason he lives a somewhat lonely life except on the day of his birthday, but this one is so different. This story is about the birthday of the Infanta of Spain, a poorly raised and young princess who does not have a mother. ![]()

William shatner's tekwar7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Its in there to fill the long distances between objectives ( more on that later ). The music is basic midi, its neither amazing, nor is it very bad. We all know that graphics do not make a game, so rather than ramble on about them I will discuss other elements. The sprites are all clearly identifiable and even the 3d objects have nice textures on them. The engine can do 640x480 buffered VGA, and it looks pretty good. First off the box made the graphics seem far worse then they actually were. To make a long story short I bought the title and took it home. The graphics looked dated but the promise of a freewheeling universe to journey through at my hearts content seemed appealing. This particular title, however, caught my eye. In it I found a host of games I had no desire to pickup. When I was really bored one day I decided to root through the local electronic boutique bargain bin. ![]()
