But be careful, because if that cloud hits a high pressure zone, it gets dispersed into the atmosphere, causing global warming to go up. Once global warming reaches 100%, it&#8217;s game over. <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/game\/greentech\">(You can check out the original game\/trailer right here.)<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nThe new controls in this game puts the hurricane on a grid instead of mouse control, giving me better control of how I could design the levels.

Well I have news for you: (A) that&#8217;s a really weird thing to think about, and (B) greenTech+ has built in 3D support! Now, if there&#8217;s one thing I don&#8217;t like about red\/blue glasses, it&#8217;s that the color is all washed out from the image. Well, given that greenTech had no color to begin with, this 3D works better than I think any other game out there with anaglyph support. But don&#8217;t take my word for it. Throw on your red\/blue 3D glasses and view the future!<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/greentechpluscap8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/greentechpluscap8.jpg\" width=520><\/a><\/center><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/greentechpluscap7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/greentechpluscap7.jpg\" width=520><\/a><\/center><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n<p>You can purchase the game at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/store.php\"><strong>Vertigo Games store<\/strong><\/a>.
