Saberling Personal Computer

''This "Zombie computer" can only be damaged by attacking its vulnerable interior. Wait for it to spawn CPU Fans, then move in to strike its weakpoint.''

The Saberling Personal Computer is an Appliance, found somewhat rarely in the game G-Force.

Characteristics
A slow, lumbering enemy, the Personal Computer will seldom move far from its starting point.

It is shielded from all sides, except when spawning CPU Fans. These serve to slow player movement from a short distance. If most are destroyed, the Computer will soon spawn another eight fans.

Its most common attack is to fire an energy ball at the player. It will attempt to account for player momentum, and as such can be easily dodged by fast jump or dodge movements.

It will also periodically release energy shockwave which must be jumped over to avoid taking damage. It additionally has a short-range melee attack which will be used should the player get too close.

Strategy
The CPU fans should always be top priority, as the Saberling Personal Computer will not spawn more until the existing ones have been destroyed.

When reduced to its final hitpoint, it will become temporarily stunned, which provides an ideal opportunity to destroy the CPU Fans.

The Shot-Bolter is an incredibly effective weapon against the Computer, destroying it in just two hits even on the hardest difficulty.

Trivia

 * A Saberling Personal Computer can be seen early on in the game, in the first room to contain a Motion Sensor. It cannot be activated as the player has not yet unlocked the enhanced Saberlizer, (able to weaponize appliances rather than merely scan them) and attempting to scan it will fail after an abnormally long tone. (since the player has yet to encounter a weaponized one and thus the computer is missing from the appliance database)
 * The Saberling Personal Computer serves as the first 'boss fight' in the game, as it is introduced in a confined space that the player cannot leave until it has been destroyed.
 * The motherboard texture used on the Computer is of an Intel Socket mPGA478B motherboard, from the early 2000s. No processor or memory appears to be present.Motherboard.jpg
