caesar novus Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 http://www.beyondspaceandtime.org/FCBSTWeb...html#link=index This downloadable simulator of Ye Olde Peking is great, although it overheats my laptop and I may literally have to precool it in a freezer before short periods of use. Where is a Roman version?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caesar novus Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) I found if I aim an external fan on my laptop, it can keep cool enough to battle my way with that simulator to the far end of Forbidden City (the north, NE, NW), which is just unbelievable in architectural and botanical detail. The southern entrance end has more of a vast, empty, Stalinist feel that needn't delay you (double click arrow key for speed). I also found that if I switch my vacation from Rome to Beijing, it actually cuts the price more within my budget. Is this so wrong (for a repeat Rome visitor)! Isn't Beijing in spirit like the Roman autocracy of the modern world? Maybe someone will write a simulator for the Roman sites I have missed... I can actually target a coming military parade (largest in communist history) for which they are already staffing up miniskirted combat squads... If Roman victory parades didn't do this, wouldn't they wish they had thought of it? Edited April 6, 2009 by caesar novus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
