"This is not a virus" makes me suspect it's a virus.
Most shooter arn't that small.
You are sure it isn't a Virus? I trust you Yu-Yevon but for some reason i am worried about clicking there. :-/
This should help you feel better.
Ok, I downloaded it but there's an error that occure. Did you download it from that site? if so then how?.
Edit: I got how, well, there's still an error, I bet I'm out of luck then. Thanks anyway.
theres a readme file thats sais it will only run on a high-end pc.
Yes, I read that. Alas, nothing of what it requires fits with my computer. Pity, it look like a nice game.
Just think of what developers could do if they dit the same thing on console games! the whole game is only 96killobites! Most shooters have a file sixe of 600MB or more.
I scanned it for viruses and it came up clean on my Symantec AntiVirus with a virus definition file of 2/14/2007.
Wow that looks pretty decent. I will try it out another day though.
It's very old, but still neat.
The only interest in this game is how they did it in 96k. After you play it for a while, the awe of how small the file is begins to ebb away as the game itself becomes dull.
I don't think this was their main concern with the game. Stuff like that can be easily fixed by designers. =PQuote:

I don't think I'm gonna download this. Considering you didn't provide images, or any information and said it wasn't a virus.
It doesn't contain a virus. Rather, it contains a game that was made in only 96k, which, though amazing in many ways, is quite dull after a few minutes of play.Quote:

I don't have the time to download 96K.
Yeah, I could definately have spent those hours of downloading the game in a more productive manner.Quote:

Yeah, I've played it before if it's what I'm thinking about. It's a pretty amazing tech demo. Not worthwhile for much beyond that, though.
That is quite incredible that procedurally generated code can yield such a massive reduction in disk usage.
This might convince the nonbelievers that it's not a virus.
heres a screenshot for those who wanted it.
If it's what I think it is, then it is a wonder of procedural synthesis.
Well, I beat it, and while impressive that it is so tiny, it's not that fun. However, this could really advance file compression.
Mabe 360 fans can play MGS4! (I still want it to stay on PS3 though.)
There's a slight difference between procedural generation and file compression.Quote:

Considering the constantly growing data storage mediums and Bandwidths it doesn't really seem worth it.
Ah, I see. I didn't realize it used procedural generation. I apologize.Quote:
