NeuroSoft Corp Releases New Gaming Console
New Chicago, Robaxian (AIP) – Interplanetary neuroware giant NeuroSoft Corp announced earlier today the release of their newest gaming console, dubbed the Dragonfly Entertainment System.  The Dragonfly features state-of-the-art hardware, allowing it to achieve unprecedented graphic display and processing speeds.

“We’re very excited about Dragonfly,” stated Mark Bradley, founder and CEO of NeuroSoft, in his announcement to the Twelve Worlds earlier today.  “This console is going to revolutionize the way people play games.”

The Dragonfly is the smallest gaming console to date.  Measuring less than 1cm across and just 3mm thick, it is easily the most compact gaming entertainment system ever built.  But perhaps what makes the Dragonfly so special is its ability to plug directly into NeuroSoft’s standard neural wetware modules.  Simply slide the console into the wetware port, and a whole world of gaming opens up to the user.

Dragonfly designer and project chair Michael Pickerell tells what his favorite feature of the revolutionary gaming system is.  “Try the full-screen mode.  But make sure you’re sitting down first.  Most optical displays these days use only one corner of the visual output field, and even that has a minimum level of opacity.  Can’t have people bumping into each other or smashing their gliders just because they can’t see, right?  Well, Dragonfly was designed to provide a total immersion experience for the gamer.  You can option for the full-screen at a zero percent opacity and experience the game the way it was meant to be.  It’s just like actually being there.”

Already NeuroSoft has seen huge success in their sales…

”…what seems to be happening is that the player often experiences high levels of stress as his character takes damage.  In some cases, the player’s mind is no longer able to make a distinction between fantasy and reality.  It thinks that the player’s body is actually dead or dying and starts shutting down vital systems.  Either that or the player experiences so much anxiety that he has a heart attack…”

“We’re very pleased about the merger of the two companies.  I think NeuroSoft had the right idea with Dragonfly, but unfortunately insufficient testing and court settlements were enough to bring the company to a hard place.  We’re only all too happy to step in and help out.  NeuroSoft’s mission to provide only the best neuroware to every city in the system has not died here.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  If anything, its mission has been reborn today, and we will continue to provide only the best and state-of-the-art neuro- and wetware possible.  That’s Microsoft’s pledge.”
