Everything else you wrote, bluemagica, is entirely true. The game was a train wreck. For probably the best version of pong every made (faint praise, I realize) grab PlasmaPong. Its system requirements aren’t entirely trivial though–once you see it in action you’ll know why.

Sorry to dump on the procedings. Was simply flabbergasted by 85 megs being a complaint in this day and age. I’m not being elitist here: 30 megs of storage cost a couple hundred dollars…twenty years ago. Same $200 dollars today is 400 gigs. The dial-up download situation is more of an issue, but it’s still minutes, not hours.

I also have to agree with Madz regarding Magnussoft’s games. Virtually all of them have had one problem or more, from the very poor physics of Barkanoid, and Aquanoid to Art Mahjong and even Donkey Kong. Most though have had a lot of potential and this one is no less a candidate for that accolade if only it/they were finished properly.

I still couldn’t find the AVI file that you mentioned Revelation 23, but it doesn’t matter as I decided to uninstall it as I never got around to getting one of the other computers to work to see if it did play any better on a single core computer. Pity it’s such a bad game as I like the concept. Having those monsters with different attributes is a great idea, and all seemed to have their own distinctive voices as well.

I also agree with what mapsking says about the improvements that need to be carried out to make this a worthwhile game to download.

For an arcade game many of which are around 3Mb to 10 Mb this is a ‘massive’ game as are most of Magnussofts games. But compared to games such as MOH – Airborne, COD 4, Bioshock, Crysis and many of the more recent games it is a piddling amount I agree. However, most people won’t be downloading those games from an arcade dealer; they will be bought from a shop, on a disc like most big games. Before you make the point that some of these games are available to download online and all are available as demos, I very much doubt the dial up users here would be downloading them. For dial up this particular game of 84Mb is a massive file. Why be so pernickety about a word? Most people here do actually understand my meaning, thankfully. no offence meant though I just find I have to explain some of the misconceptions that some people make about my reviews.
By the way Narfits, my Battlefield 2 folder is approaching 200Gb, now that is some gigantic size for a game, thanks to the mod community.

Thanks Jack and lol to shultis

Funny how when the game REALLY sucks, no one says:

“It’s Free.. why do you complain about it, you should go somewhere else”

Cool thing is, today the comments are better than the game.

How many dial-up users are gamers forced to sit through overnight downloads that might fail or otherwise pass on stuff they’d like, I don’t really know. Dial-up is far from extinct.

This one could’ve been smaller, albeit probably not worth it in the end.

On another note, does anyone know any good free solitaire programs? We might as well get something useful out of today’s giveaway time.

Peace out.
