Was, then wasn't.
Remember the rules regarding our definition of AW have changed in last couple years.

Well, I guess it is AW (we weren't even checking back in those days - Abandonia was still offering games like Loom and Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis back then).

But the last set file size limit was 100MB (as far as I remember it) and the archive is bigger then that limit...

Let me put it like this, as soon as I get a gree light from Kosta to update it, the game will be up within a day (maybe even faster if Kosta kept the review somewhere). And I do fully trust you guys with your ability to determine what is and what isn't abandonware (but it might still be sold).

AFAIK, there is a CD-Rip version about 80 MB large.

We'll see what Kosta says about the Amazon situation and then decide.

What compresion tool is being used?

I thought here at Abandonia it was agreed that we use only ZIP (compatible with win XP extractor - remember the problems with certain of your files that people couldn't extract?) and that once you extract there is the game folder already (not other compressed files to unpack.

If so, is that CD rip still under 80MB?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the game back on site, especially because it will draw people to Abandonia, but I'm just sceptical...

I think the file is in zip format and was either 82 or 84 megs and something. Unfortunatly I don't think I still have that file. It was lost with almost 2 gig of archive when my brother "lost" my USB key. :mad:

Sebatianos 05-05-2008 06:22 PM

OK, my file is 176MB (but that's with sound). If I delete all the sound the archive is 82MB. That would work, but it would be a shame to lose the sound (the music is really good).

Let's wait for Kosta's answer, but since the game is abandonware it should be OK as soon as there are no sold copies (except second hand).

Eagle of Fire 05-05-2008 06:50 PM

I guess you simply mean deleting the music. The game had all the sound effects active when I played that game.

um, why would rip mean different compression or something? if somebody says that rip has 80 mb that meanas that normal game has 80 mb. it's not so strange for a rip to have 80 mb (since there are no animations some music and stuff..)

and i barely think that some compression tools'd differ in compression rate that much

Yes, I'd keep the sound effects. It's a shame to lose the music, but those files do make over 90MB of difference.
