about the demo 1.0  This space-asteroid-arcade style game is a nice diversion, a creative variation on a well-used theme. The sounds are not particularly exciting, but the graphics are solid enough, including the nicely rendered spinning Earth. You control the Earth with the keyboard's direction keys, and engage shields and fire missiles with the space bar and Z key respectively. The demo gives the first five levels. This is a decent game that offers a respectable challenge.     The early asteroid detection system did a mighty fine job detecting asteroids that were on a collision course with earth. The only problem is, what do we do now that we know a few thousand rocks roughly the size of Manhattan are about to shake, rattle, and roll the planet? The answer: strap on a couple of booster rockets near Antarctica and move the whole shebang to another orbit. To keep safe from minor space debris, you have a shield system, and since taking the orb out of its solar orbit will mess up the seasons (among other things), you've also got to make a couple of pit stops along the way to procure water, food, and minerals so what's left of the population doesn't starve to death. This demo version includes five levels.     In addition to its original structure, Save the Earth! has extraordinary graphics.  Most of the animated objects were created with 3D modelers to give the game  the most realistic look possible. Even the backgrounds of each game screen  were developed with a 3D landscape modeler. Save the Earth! is an adventure  and action game in which the main character, the Earth, is forced to leave her  solar orbit because her survival is threatened by the arrival of enormous  meteorites. After equipping herself with rocket engines and a protective shield,  the planet begins its long voyage in search of another habitat. During the voyage  she must not only protect herself from countless threats, but she must also  procure the energy necessary to continue her voyage and the resources  necessary to maintain her population: water, food, minerals, etc. During her  odyssey, the Earth encounters one of the three Thinking Planets in the  Universe, Eurystheus, which forces her to submit to seven dangerous tests.  Besides being an explicit ecological metaphor, in which the Earth and its  inhabitants represent a single living being that must act in unison to save itself  globally, the game is rich in references ranging from the Monolith created by  Arthur C. Clarke for his 2001, A Space Odyssey to Greek mythology, where the  Earth represents a fledgling Hercules that must accomplish the duties imposed  on him by Eurystheus, king of Mycenea.      Le premier " SERIAL GAME "  Compagnie Italienne ARVIN (milan)—communiqué de presse Alors eux ils sont originaux !! ils viennent de lancer le premier jeu à épisodes : Save the Earth !
