'Every game'... they are relatively small files, but... lol

I run into Atari 2600 owners all the time that would claim they used to have "every" game out for it back then. You'd poke and prod a little when they'd proudly tell you that yeah... they only had 30-50 titles! But somehow, that was "every" single game to them... lol

Is that slob drinking a Hacker Pschorr? Great beer, but you don't drink that out of the bottle  ;-)  lol  But geez... even the LCD in America isn't that classy. They'd be drinking Milwaukee's Best out of the can! lol

I hear that to install the AGA version of 'Peter`s Quest - For the love of Daphne' takes over 500 Mb alone!!


Holy smokes! 500mb? I had to re-read that a couple of times. Personally. I wouldn't even want to install a 500mb game, let alone trudge through one. Total Chaos clocks in at somewhere around 20-25mb and that game plays like a dog on anything less than an 060.

And the hundreds, if not thousands of games on that whdownload site seems to be around the 3.5gb range for ALL of them. I bet that's how the guy is judging a systems software library though. Sites like that *must* be complete, no? lol

That's just the memory requirement for Total Chaos AGA.  The hard-drive requirement is closer to 150 MB once all of the music is unpacked after the initial run.


Right you are! Whoops, how could I have gotten that mixed up? lol  I'll go cower away now... lol   But my point still being  :P

I use to play Total chaos in an "ordinary" 030 @50MHz (128Mb RAM). OK, was not a speed demon, but works!:)


I just remembered I did not have an FPU on my 40mhz/030/128mb - does yours? I am not exaggerating when I say it took several minutes for the program, upon startup, to load and decrunch all the sounds. I wanna say it took at least 10 minutes, maybe 15. And then, when it finally did load up, was prone to crashing my system  :-(
