Hi... How big is the installer?

Also can you play in windows mode, and is it stable in that mode.

Thanks DP.

Also it will be possible to play without internet connection?

All the game files total around 300Mb, but the installer may include some more stuff. That's a rough ball-park anyway.

There is no 'windows' mode - the game always runs full-screen. But it will happily run alongside other windows apps, and you can Alt-Tab between them no problem.

No internet connection required to play.

Good to hear that.

The Alt-Tab works fantastic. I have several things going while testing sometimes, just to try and get it to lock up. It has never given me a problem when going from app to app. Yet it's the type of intense looking game that seems like you could not get away with that. [&o]

wow 300 mb, that is not too large

The system requirements state approximately 500 Mb of space will be needed for installation. Obviously, that number could (and very likely will) change before things are finalized, but I'm going to stick with that for now.

2D.

Of course some of us remember when great games came in the 2-3 mb size! Wasn't that about the size of the early MOOs? [;)]

MoO was 4+ MB

MoO2 was 68MB unpatched, Patched 1.31 was 73+MB.

Dune II was 4+ MB.

Actually it is 11.7 MB for MoO and MoM is 24.8

And the system requirements for MoO are just awesome.[:D]

16 Mhz 386 processor
2 MB of RAM with 1040K of EMS free
A 3.5 floppy drive
14 MB of free space on your HD
And MS-DOS V3.3 or higher

Yep... MoO is a very old game.

I remember the first Doom game coming on a 3 1/2 inch High Density Floppy disc on the front of PC REVIEW magazine. I even remember sitting on the loo reading it!!!
I also remember seeing in the same mag a small story hailing the arrival of the first CD Writer, with the price being around (but I could be totally wrong here) of £29,000 or £2,900. This was back in about 1994/5
I also remember buying a PC game called DARKLANDS which took up 19mb of my 40 mb hard drive on my 386DX 33.
I also............................................oh, nevermind................Just release the game!!!!!!
