Computer
Bild is Europe's largest computer magazine. In its June 30 issue the cover
story tells you how to prepare for a summer trip: Take a notebook with you;
install navigation software to get you to your destination safely; use a "global
access" account to get onto the Internet; use an inexpensive satellite
dish to watch TV programs in your native language; take a memory card reader
to store your digital pictures; and take some intelligent, challenging games.
So which game should you take to a sunny beach. Not shoot-em-up or fast action games, says Computerbild. They are not in the spirit of a relaxing holiday. Also who would want to put a giant joystick into his luggage?
No, the appropriate thing is to install a mind, board or card game, so you can also exercise your brain. It is also an excellent antidote to boredom.
Computer Bild has a list of the best games in this category, but explicitely recommends Fritz 8, "which turns your notebook into a genuine chess computer".
