EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Total Recall is a game developed to help enhance the skill and understanding of BSIT 1st year students about C Programming. This game has three Proper of major and functions such as is and

creating

searching account. Game Proper includes the display map, select map, load question, prompt answer and display score. View function is a function of the game that is consisted of the basic lessons in C Programming, option and view

score. In playing this game, the player should create his/her account. After which, the player chooses a category either adventure or tutorial, if be the player chooses to play

adventure, a map will

and the player will

choose from the locations to play the game. On the other hand, if the player chooses to view the lectures a short discussion will be displayed. Deploying this Total Recall game requires the

following software specification: Flash Player, 10MB hard drive at least free space, video RAM at least 1GB, 1GB RAM, the processor should be at least dual-core CPU 1GHz,

Findings showed that 81% of the respondents strongly agree that the system is easy to understand, 90% strongly agree that the system is easy to navigate, 75% agree that the system carryout the basic requirement in

delivering instruction and 87% strongly agree that the system is reliable and usable. Respondents even said that the game is "Malupit", "ASTIG", "Nice game", "I really

enjoy it", informative and educational. With the optimistic responses from the BSIT 1st year students, as observed by the researchers during the tryout of the game, we strongly recommend that this Total Recall should be distributed and played by the students and also they can use this game as their basis in making their own.
