    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.

    Isn't really worth it.

    I've heard about this. And I've seen a screenshot of it in EGM or something. It looks alright but considering that I'm no shooter fan, I won't be bothering.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Photo texturing just wouldn't work, the processing power needed would skyrocket and it would require many more man hours.

    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.

    I rememeber a big commotion around this around the time that Spore was announced, so this is pretty old.
