3. Aquarium (NES-ish Aquaria)
4. Little Girl in Underland (Soviet McGee's Alice)

See for yourself.) 8. (tie) Fillauth and Advanced Set The Rope On Fire Cartridge (an Intellivision-like remake of this, previously mentioned)
9. Sexy Seaside Vollyball (NSFW, pixelated breasts) (Sinclair Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Vollyball)

Sekitar dua bulan yang lalu iseng-iseng ikut quiz yang diadakan oleh SitePoint. Ada dua quiz yang saya ikuti, yaitu tentang Adobe AIR dan Adobe Flex. Quiz-nya sederhana, hanya menjawab beberapa pertanyaan seputar Flex atau AIR. Dari keduanya, saya hanya beruntung di quiz yang Adobe Flex saja. Sedangkan yang Adobe AIR, saya sudah kalah cepat dari pengunjung lain (alias kehabisan buku dan hanya kebagian versi pdf aja). Maklum, pihak SitePoint hanya menyediakan 100 eksemplar saja untuk dibagikan, sisanya harus puas kebagian versi pdf saja.

Akhirnya, setelah dua bulan menunggu (dan hampir lupa) akhirnya buku itu sampai juga di rumah saya, Alhamdulillah...









Semoga buku ini bermanfaat, kebetulan di Windows saya sudah ada Adobe Flex Builder 3 (Education License) yang sudah lama tidak tersentuh. Nggak ada salahnya belajar Flex sebagai alternatif dari HTML/CSS/Javascript, sehingga kita bisa tahu kapan harus pake Flex kapan tidak.

All About N-Gage have the dirt on a game that looks like it has a lot of potential: Asphalt: Urban GT.  I can't say that I've played much more than some FIFA and other random stuff on the N-Gage, but a good racer can add a lot of value to a gaming platform.  Of course I'm still waiting to see if Call of Duty rocks as much as it should.
