PC Digital Tower Defense

Who doesn’t know what a PC is? Personal Computers are one of the most defining features of our time. Machines that are great for work, for fun and for studying. But what PC really is? The Wiki says it’s a “multi-purpose electronic computer whose size, capabilities and price make it feasible for individual use”. But it gets better: “Personal Computers are intended to be operated directly by an end-user, rather than by a computer expert or technician”. Computers were originally invented to “compute” and solve complex mathematical problems. Today, everything is different and their original purpose is actually the least important one. Instead, they are used for gathering data (internet), entertainment (video games, movies, music, etc) and work. Since the early 1990s, Microsoft operating systems and Intel hardware have dominated the PC market. There are alternatives to Microsoft Windows operating system but they still occupy a minority share of the industry. These include Apple's iOS and free open-source operating systems (e.g. Linux and Chrome OS).
Tower Defense games (also known as TD) is a subgenre of strategy video games where the player’s main goal is defending territories or possessions. Players are obstructing enemy attackers by placing defensive structures (towers) along their regular path of attack. This typically means raising a variety of different structures which can be used to block, impede, attack and destroy the attackers. Tower defense is generally seen as a subgenre of RTS video games, due to its real-time origins. That said, many modern tower defense games also include aspects of a turn-based strategy. Strategic choice and careful positioning of towers is the key element of the genre. The best tower defense game currently on the market, are Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Defenders of Ardania and Dungeon Defenders. Even though they are considered “new age” by many purists, their developers were faithful to core elements of the genre.
