Just Another Day in a Geek’s Life — Server Quest II
Last year I posted about a fun little game called Server Quest — an adventure game created by Microsoft where you can earn geekpoints by playing different mini-games that test your knowledge of IT related stuff.
The game has an old school appeal, with blocky visuals that date back to late 80s, early 90s, wacky humor and off the wall music — perfect for any geek.
Well today the adventures of Matt (the IT guy) and Alicia (the new security officer) continue in Server Quest II.
What’s new in Server Quest II
Here’s the story line:
The company’s resident IT professional extraordinaire has just returned from a much-deserved vacation but, in a temporary spell of relaxed judgment, has jeopardized their reputation with a poorly placed email and forwarded personal holiday snaps to the entire staff. Now they have to excavate through the email chain to find the offending photos – all while keeping the office online.
In Server Quest II, the sequel to last year’s pixellated adventure, players must hone their technical prowess in order to prove once and for all why the tech pros take the cake. From software support to sidequests, players will get behind the curtain and live the life of a server genius fighting for respect.
Once you select your character –you can be either Matt or Alicia,
And your area of expertise — ranging from Desktop Whiz and Hardware Hero, to Server God, IT Commando, Database Guru and God’s Gift to Programming,
You can select the chapter you want to play or click on one of the quick games that are on the bottom — Circuit Snake or Vista Upgrade.
Check it out and let me know which game you liked the best (and what your high score was).
