The higher polygon count and more defined textures of the new Pentium® III processor version of the game gives users an increased number of characters on the screen.

farm, while 15 cows now populate AlexΓÇÖs farm. Also, in
the new version of the game, users will notice a more realistic shadow model where shadows accurately
represent the charactersΓÇÖ positions. All of these changes serve to further enrich the realism of AlexΓÇÖs 3D environment.
