Getting SimTower set up on a modern machine.

Here's the steps you need to take to play Grim Fandango on a modern computer.

Now we have the third-generation MacBook Air. It sports Intel's latest Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 CPUs. These take "integrated graphics" to a new level: the GPU is actually integrated on the CPU die, though this does mean a return to Intel's GPUs, which always had a very bad reputation. The Mini DisplayPort connector that was used to drive external displays in previous generations of the Air has been transformed into a Thunderbolt port. The Thunderbolt port will still perform Mini DisplayPort duties if needed, but it's now a general purpose I/O port running at no less than 10Gbps.

Automated scripts for getting a development environment going in OS X 10.6 Lion

Are there other ways I can install Lion besides the Mac App Store? How can I reinstall Lion if something goes wrong?

I’m going to walk through the process of making a bootable Mac OS X 10.7 Lion installation drive out of any USB flash drive key. This is similar to the process of making a bootable Lion installer DVD, but I prefer a USB flash drive because it’s faster, smaller, and I have a MacBook Air so an installation DVD isn’t too useful for me.

iJumpman is a retro-futuristic platformer by Andrew McClure. What begins as an imitation of 8bit retro platformer with game mechanics reminiscent of Joust quickly turns in one of the most engaging retro inspired games on the iPhone. Use tilt or onscreen controls to move across the level, effect gravity and objects in the world (physics), invisible walls, bombs, awesome soundtrack and effects and so much more with the task to survive to the exit. Although some levels may need balancing as you may find yourself at times quickly passing through the levels and other having to die about 20 times at least on others, the game is nevertheless so much fun it’s hard to describe. The 3D space showing next levels just adds to the desire to pass the current and move onto the next. In addition to all of this, a full level editor is including together with ability to upload and download additional levels. Controls vary from tilt control what we have found in Ronaldo where you rotate the world around you, also achievable via “finger twist” to on screen control buttons which for some levels especially those requiring you to continuously rotate the world. Regardless of how much you are against of games with on screen controls, here they are really useful at times and done in such a way not to be too obtrusive and very much in touch graphically with the environment.

Here is the list of features:
- A full level editor with integrated online level trading
- Gesture and tilt controls (plus optional button control scheme)
- Full soundtrack by The Mathletes
- Full in-game soundtrack (plus iTunes library support)

Free demo of the game for Mac, PC and Linux is available at runhello.com

This is easily the best $2.99 I have spent on a retro classic inspired game for the iPhone. A simple must if you a fan of 8bit gaming and if you are not and enjoy the likings of Ronaldo, iJumpman is a great example of retro adaptation for the iPhone platform. I could not recommend it more..
