Armadillo (video Game)
is a NES/Famicom platform video game, published by IGS in 1991. Gameplay The player controls a yellow armadillo with a red hat named Billy the Shell. Between levels, the player moves around on a map screen, similar to '' Super Mario Bros. 3''. The map screen consists of many small squares, which the player can "capture" one at a time, after which they're crossed out and can be moved across freely. There are also some larger squares with pictures on them, and if the player is on them, they can choose to begin an action stage, which has to be cleared before the player can pass it. There is also another character moving around on the map screen, and if the player is on the same space as them, they can start a boss battle, which has to be cleared to move onto the next world. The player can walk around and jump, and roll into a ball. While rolled up in ball form, the player can roll and bounce around. Control in this form can be slippery, but it is the only way to attack enemies. Al ...

Information Global Service Games
Information is an abstract concept that refers to that which has the power to inform. At the most fundamental level information pertains to the interpretation of that which may be sensed. Any natural process that is not completely random, and any observable pattern in any medium can be said to convey some amount of information. Whereas digital signals and other data use discrete signs to convey information, other phenomena and artifacts such as analog signals, poems, pictures, music or other sounds, and currents convey information in a more continuous form. Information is not knowledge itself, but the meaning that may be derived from a representation through interpretation. Information is often processed iteratively: Data available at one step are processed into information to be interpreted and processed at the next step. For example, in written text each symbol or letter conveys information relevant to the word it is part of, each word conveys information relevan ...
